UAE: New traffic plan for pedestrian crossings announced in Fujairah
Fujairah Police have unveiled a plan to establish new pedestrian crossings across the emirate, as part of a restructuring plan announced by the emirate's Police. Where to establish the new pedestrian crossings will be decided based on the needs of certain roads, in a move o enhance traffic and public safety for road users and pedestrians, and to reduce run-over accidents. Jaywalking in the UAE is a violation that is punishable by a fine of Dh400, according to Article 89 of the Federal Traffic and Road Law. The plan also aims to redesign and reposition the most hazardous pedestrian crossings, said Brigadier General Saleh Mohammed Abdullah Al Dhahnahani, Director of the Traffic and Patrols Department at the General Command of Fujairah Police. 'Righ to cross safely' Earlier in May, the General Command of Fujairah Police has launched a one-month campaign under the slogan: 'Pedestrians Have the Right to Cross Safely,' as part of its operational plan for 2025. The initiative targets both drivers and pedestrians, with the aim of lowering mortality and injury rates, while also promoting the culture of avoiding dangerous behaviours. "Additionally, the campaign promotes a culture of using designated pedestrian crossings and avoiding risky behaviours that endanger lives," the police authority said in a statement. It has recently issued a firm warning to pedestrians against crossing roads from unauthorised areas, stressing that such actions endanger their lives and the safety of other road users. Fujairah Police said the initiative supports the Ministry of Interior's strategic vision to make UAE roads safer and reduce traffic fatalities and injuries caused by negligence or unsafe attitude.

UAE: Fujairah Police step up action against jaywalking, issue reminder of Dh400 fine
The General Command of Fujairah Police has issued a firm warning to pedestrians against crossing roads from unauthorised areas, stressing that such actions endanger their lives and the safety of other road users. The authority also urged motorists to exercise extreme caution when approaching pedestrian crossings, particularly zebra crossings, to ensure the safety of all. As part of this public safety drive, police reminded residents that the Federal Traffic and Road Law prohibits pedestrians from crossing roads outside designated areas, with violators facing a fine of Dh400. The warning comes as part of the force's ongoing efforts to enforce traffic rules, reduce pedestrian accidents, and enhance road safety for all. The latest awareness campaign, launched under the theme 'Pedestrians Have the Right to Cross Safely,' aims to educate both pedestrians and drivers on safe road behaviours. The campaign, which runs for a month, is part of the Traffic and Patrols Department's 2025 operational plan. Colonel Saleh Mohammed Abdullah Al Dhanhani, Director of the Traffic and Patrols Department at Fujairah Police, said the campaign focuses on addressing repeated violations by pedestrians who put themselves at risk by crossing from non-designated areas. 'We are witnessing a disturbing trend where pedestrians ignore safe crossing points, stepping into traffic from unsafe locations. This puts their lives and those of others in grave danger,' said Col. Al Dhanhani. 'At the same time, drivers must approach crossings carefully, slow down, and give way to pedestrians.' Col. Al Dhanhani stressed that ensuring pedestrian safety is a shared responsibility. The campaign also seeks to raise awareness among vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and people of determination, urging them to use footbridges, tunnels, and zebra crossings. Fujairah Police said the initiative supports the Ministry of Interior's strategic vision to make UAE roads safer and reduce traffic fatalities and injuries caused by negligence or unsafe behaviours. The police reiterated the need for cooperation between motorists and pedestrians, adding that enforcement of traffic laws, including fines for violations, is essential to deter reckless behavior and protect lives.
