Sharjah Police to confiscate noisy vehicles

Sharjah: Police have announced strict measures against vehicles and motorcycles causing noise and disturbance in residential areas and on public roads, as part of ongoing efforts to maintain public safety and community peace.

The General Command of Sharjah Police said it has received multiple complaints from residents about persistent noise caused by some drivers and riders. Authorities stressed that such behaviour violates public safety standards and disrupts the tranquillity of neighbourhoods.

Police warned that violators will face firm action, including the impoundment  of their vehicles.

Brigadier Omar Al Ghazal Al Shamsi, Director-General of the General Department of Operations and Security Support, said these measures fall within the force’s responsibility to safeguard community security and ensure residents’ comfort.

He noted that some motorists particularly youths continue to violate laws by using vehicles and motorbikes fitted with illegal modifications that generate excessive noise, disturbing residents in neighbourhoods and on public roads.

“This behaviour is unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” he said, adding that legal action will be strictly enforced against offenders.

Authorities will continue to intensify inspection campaigns to monitor and track violating vehicles and motorcycles, taking necessary action against them.

Police also urged parents to monitor their children’s behaviour and raise awareness about the risks and legal consequences of such actions. They stressed the importance of family guidance in promoting responsible conduct and preserving peace in residential communities.
