New fines and ways to pay in Abu Dhabi: All the recent rules
If you find yourself doing something careless while driving, parking or throwing out your rubbish in Abu Dhabi, there could be a fine out there with your name on it. But don't panic – we've rounded up the latest laws, limits and updates (breathe, some are optimistic) so you don't end up forking out your entire year's rent—or more—after one moment of breaking the rules. Here's your no-fuss, full-drama rundown of what's new (and what could cost you a fortune) on the streets of the capital. Run a red light? That'll be Dh50,000 Abu Dhabi has had enough of drivers playing around at intersections. The government has reminded drivers who run a red light that they could be waving goodbye to more than their no-claims bonus. Under Law No. 5 of 2020, you'll get: A Dh50,000 fine 30-day vehicle impoundment 12 black points And if your car isn't claimed in 3 months it will be sent to auction Throw in jail time if the violation causes a fatal accident – especially if you were texting, racing, or just driving recklessly. Time Out Tip: Amber means slow down, not floor it. Hit and run? That'll be Dh100,000 New UAE-wide traffic laws just dropped – and they are not playing around. If you're in an accident and think you can just scoot off quietly? Think again. Drivers now have just three hours to report an accident (big or small). Fail to do that and you're looking at: Up to one year in jail A fine of Dh50,000 to Dh100,000 Or both And no, you can't just roll into your neighbourhood garage – you need an official repair permit first. Valid excuses include actual injury or no mobile signal, but you'll need receipts (i.e. medical reports and witness statements). You can now pay fines early and save Good news for the mildly irresponsible among us: Abu Dhabi Police are now rewarding early birds with a 35 percent discount on traffic fines if you pay within 60 days. If you miss that you can still snag 25 percent off if you settle within a year. And yes, there are digital payment options, instalment plans and app-based solutions – so no, you don't need to queue anywhere. If you've spotted the campaign on petrol station screens recently, that's Abu Dhabi Police giving you a gentle nudge while you refill your tank and regret yesterday's U-turn.

You can now use the TAMM app to appeal fines in Abu Dhabi, here's how
We've all been there. You park where you probably shouldn't (just for a minute), or forget to take the bins out on the right day and boom – a municipal fine shows up in your name. But here's some good news: you can now appeal certain Abu Dhabi fines directly through the Tamm app and the whole process is digital, free and refreshingly straightforward. What kind of fines can I appeal? This applies specifically to municipal violations, which usually means things like improper waste disposal, property upkeep issues, or other infractions covered by Abu Dhabi's Department of Municipalities and Transport. You'll have one week from receiving the fine to file your appeal. How does it work? Appeals are submitted via the Tamm platform – either online or through the app – and you'll need to log in with your UAE Pass, upload any supporting documents or photos and explain why you're objecting. You'll also need to show that the issue has been resolved (say, the rubbish has been cleared or repairs made). There are no additional fees to submit an appeal, but you can only file once per unpaid violation. What happens after I submit? Once submitted, your appeal is reviewed by the relevant authority – and they'll get back to you with either an approval or rejection, based on what the law says and the evidence you provide. Just be aware: if inspectors check the site and the issue hasn't been fixed, you could still be liable – and the fine might even double. So don't just appeal – make sure it's sorted too. The move over to the TAMM app is part of a broader effort to digitise services and make processes more transparent, giving residents an easier way to handle municipal issues without standing in queues or dealing with paperwork. And for the rest of us? It's a useful tool to have in your back pocket – just in case. Living in the UAE When is the next public holiday? Here's when you'll have your next day off 5 unexpected Emirates ID perks you should seriously be using And yes, they all make our lives a little bit easier 12 brilliant day trips from Abu Dhabi for when you need to escape the city And some of them are free
