RTA: Give way for pedestrians

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has reminded motorists yesterday to stop and give way to pedestrians at designated crossings to avoid Dh500 fine and six black points.

The RTA tweeted: “To ensure your own and others’ safety, give way to pedestrians at designated crossings and stop until they pass to avoid a Dh500 fine and six black points.”

Pedestrians have also been urged to observe road safety. According to UAE laws, jaywalkers are fined with Dh400 if they cross at non-designated areas. Anyone caught crossing a roadway while ignoring traffic lights is also fined with Dh400.
