Dubai: Dubai Police have intensified their crackdown on reckless riding, announcing the seizure of 210 motorcycles involved in dangerous behavior on city roads and issuing 270 traffic violations as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen road safety and protect the public.

The force released video footage showing several riders committing serious violations, including weaving through traffic, riding on pedestrian pathways, and performing stunts in residential neighborhoods. The clips also show officers intercepting and stopping the riders in coordinated operations carried out across the emirate.

The Emirate’s police reaffirmed that maintaining road safety remains a top priority, urging all riders to adhere to traffic laws and avoid reckless behavior that could cause injury or loss of life.

The police also called on the public to play an active role in supporting enforcement efforts. Residents can report dangerous or illegal activity through the “Police Eye” feature available on the Dubai Police smart application, which allows users to submit footage, photos, and information directly to authorities.
