Always use designated crosswalks or traffic lights, flashing yellow lights, bridges, or tunnels.
If a designated area is not available, then ensure that you only cross the road when traffic comes to a complete stop.
Always stop, look to both sides for oncoming traffic before walking.
At a traffic light, please press push buttons when available and cross only when the pedestrian signal is green. Do not cross when the pedestrian signal is either a flashing green or steady orange or red.
Watch for traffic turning at intersections or entering and leaving driveways. However, turning vehicles at intersections must give way to pedestrians
Do not cross the road in the middle of the block or between parked cars.
Do not start crossing once the “Do Not Walk” signal begins to flash or once the light has turned yellow.
Never cross the road when the pedestrian signal is red.
Pedestrians caught crossing a road from a non-designated area will be fined AED 200 (Fine No. 147, Unified, Federal Traffic Law, 2008).
