Dubai Police Issue Strict Traffic Guidelines for 53rd Eid Al Etihad Celebrations

As the UAE prepares for the 53rd Eid Al Etihad celebrations, Dubai Police have issued strict guidelines for motorists to ensure a safe and enjoyable holiday. The public is urged to adhere to traffic rules and event-specific regulations to avoid fines and vehicle impoundments.

Major General Saif Muhair Al Mazrouei, Acting Assistant Commandant for Operations Affairs and Head of the Event Security Committee, highlighted key restrictions:

• Prohibited Activities: Avoid organizing or participating in random marches or gatherings, using party sprays, or engaging in reckless driving behaviors such as stunts.

•  Vehicle Compliance: License plates must remain visible at all times, and vehicles should not have stickers, signs, or logos unless approved for Eid Al Etihad. Alterations such as windshield tinting, excessive noise modifications, or unlicensed features are banned.

• Passenger Safety: Overcrowding vehicles, allowing passengers to hang out of windows or sunroofs, or blocking visibility with sunshades or stickers is strictly prohibited.

Violations under Decree No. 30 of 2023 may result in vehicle impoundment, with fines reaching up to Dh50,000 for their release.

To ensure smooth traffic flow and public safety, Dubai Police will deploy extensive resources, including traffic patrols, to prevent congestion and maintain order. Motorists are urged to follow instructions from police officers and adhere to all regulations to reflect the UAE’s reputation for safe and organized celebrations.
