Fujairah Police warn drivers as heavy vehicle traffic increases

Fujairah: Fujairah Police have urged motorists to follow traffic rules, maintain safe distances and exercise patience on the roads amid concerns over heavy traffic and the frequent movement of trucks and commercial vehicles across the emirate.

In a fresh road safety advisory, Fujairah Police General Headquarters highlighted the importance of responsible driving, warning motorists against behaviour that could put other road users at risk.

Issued under the message “Your Safety Is Our Responsibility, Safe Driving Is Everyone’s Responsibility”, the advisory outlined three key practices drivers should follow to help prevent accidents and improve safety on busy roads.

Police stressed the need to observe posted speed limits and maintain a safe distance from vehicles ahead, allowing sufficient time and space to brake when traffic slows down or stops suddenly.

Motorists were also urged to avoid repeatedly sounding their horns to intimidate other drivers or force them to give way. Police called for greater patience and consideration on the roads, particularly in busy traffic conditions.

Maintaining lane discipline was another key focus of the advisory. Drivers were reminded to remain within designated lanes, an important precaution when sharing roads with large trucks, freight vehicles and heavy machinery.

The guidance forms part of Fujairah Police’s ongoing efforts to improve traffic flow, protect motorists and other road users, and promote safer driving practices across the emirate.

Reinforcing its commitment to public safety, the police headquarters reiterated its message: “We work for your safety and happiness.”
