The police highlighted eight specific speeding violations, each with corresponding fines and traffic points.

Fines for slow driving
Falling below the minimum speed limit also comes with a Dh400 penalty. Since May 1, minimum speed limits are actively monitored on Sheikh Mohamded bin Rashid Road. Failing to maintain a minimum speed of 120km/h on designated lanes results in a Dh400 fine.
Safety first approach
The police campaign emphasises safe driving practices, including:
- Maintaining appropriate speeds
- Avoiding distractions behind the wheel
- Keeping a safe distance between vehicles
- Signalling lane changes only after checking surroundings
Technology for Traffic Safety
Abu Dhabi Police leverage advanced technology, including radars, to monitor traffic flow and enforce regulations, promoting a safer driving environment.
