Sharjah Police have recorded a significant decline in road-traffic fatalities during the first ten months of 2025, with the rate dropping to just 1.18 deaths per 100,000 people, according to federal traffic coordination reports.

Brigadier Khalid Mohammed Al Kay, Director of the Traffic and Patrols Directorate, said the achievement reflects the strong support from the emirate’s leadership and ongoing coordination with the Ministry of Interior. “These results are the outcome of a comprehensive strategy focusing on key areas, including increased deployment of fixed and mobile patrols, expansion of radar and smart camera networks, and year-round awareness campaigns in schools, universities, and with partner agencies,” he explained.
