Road traffic has increased
exponentially in the UAE. Vehicles and pedestrians are found almost everywhere
throughout the seven Emirates. It is therefore absolutely necessary to have uniform
rules and regulations and that road users comply with these rules.
Traffic laws and road rules have been under development internationally since the motoring was in its infancy at the beginning of the last century. Today you will find signs, rules and regulations that have been harmonized and approved internationally.
Traffic laws govern how a road should be marked and signed, how vehicles should be equipped and perform and how the driver should behave in different situations.
To guide road users towards correct
behavior on the roads, and help the police and judiciary to determine who is
right and who is wrong in the event of an accident, a set of traffic rules has
been incorporated into federal Law.
Knowledge of these rules is, of
course, essential for every driver so that he or she will not break them out of
carelessness or ignorance exposing other to a risk.
Rules, road traffic signs and road markings regulate traffic
Without these it would not be
possible for traffic to move freely on roads.
Before obtaining your driving license, it is important that you learn and understand the signs, road markings and traffic rules
Some of the signs and lines shown
here are not yet common in the UAE. However, with the rapid expansion of
traffic and the road network, they will soon become part of our traffic system.
In the meantime, you will need to be familiar with them if you plan on driving
to another country.
