To Enhance Traffic Safety
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - Saturday, June 28th 2014 [ME NewsWire]
The
Traffic and Patrols Directorate at Abu Dhabi Police announced that it
has installed 46 new radars that cover all external roads leading into
the city of Al Ain. This measure is part of a comprehensive plan to
improve traffic safety. The plan also includes installing 32 radars at
different locations on internal roads; out of which, 8 will be
detecting violations by vehicles on all lanes and in both directions, to
prevent all causes leading to traffic accidents and their resulting
deaths and serious injuries.
Colonel
Khalifa Mohammed Al Khaili, Director of the Traffic and Road Safety
Engineering Department at Abu Dhabi Police, explained that the
installation of these modern and hi-tech devices is carried out in
several phases. It is part of a comprehensive plan to enhance traffic
safety and instill commitment to laws, which would ultimately contribute
to decreasing speeds that pose a major risk, not only on the motorist,
but on other road users, should the driver lose control of his vehicle.
Colonel
Al Khaili urged motorists travelling on the roads where the new radars
were installed to pay attention and be cautious not only to avoid being
caught by radars, but to preserve their safety and the safety of other
road users. Colonel Al Khaili also stressed the importance of involving
all society members in the efforts aimed at spreading the safe driving
culture and observing the designated speed limits in order to prevent
traffic accidents.
For
his part, Captain Adel Khalifa Al Jaberi, Roads Surveillance Branch
Manager at Al Ain Traffic Safety Section, revealed that new radars will
be set to the designated speed limits applicable in the different
streets where they were installed. He called upon drivers to abide by
the legal speed limits designated in those streets in the following
regions: Airport Street; Al Jamal roundabout; Al Jamal roundabout
towards Al Safina roundabout and through to Extra Mall; the area past
the gas station roundabout in Al Bateen towards Al Ghadeer roundabout.
The
new radars also cover Al Yahar area at Hazza Al Bosh; the area leading
up from the cement plant intersection towards the zoo roundabout; the
area leading up from the cement plant roundabout towards the trucks
roundabout, facing Shiab Al Ashkhar suburb;
the area from Musabbah roundabout towards Al Madeef (Al Kuwaitat); the
area from Shakhbout street facing the old students’ residence at
Markhaniya leading up to Tawam intersection past Al Bateen Mall; and
from Tawam roundabout towards the Deer Roundabout; and the area leading
