Safe road users to be rewarded with cash

Shell is conducting a road safety campaign from today to Wednesday in Dubai and Sharjah to reward cash prizes to drivers, pedestrians and cyclists who follow good safety practices.

Drivers will be selected for following a variety of road safety rules, such as using seat belts, staying off the phone, lane discipline, using child safety seats, using indicators and observing speed limits. For others, it could be the use of designated pedestrian crossings and road traffic safety practices to reduce risk associated with cycling.

The RTA and Sharjah Police will select the safest road users who will be rewarded each with a cash prize of Dh1,000 and a certificate. A total of Dh30,000 will be awarded during the three-day campaign, with 10 road users selected for each day of the campaign.
