Dh500 fine for stopping in yellow box

Abu Dhabi Police have warned motorists not to stop within the yellow box at signalised intersections, and to avoid speeding in order to pass traffic signals.

Brig Gen Mohammed Dhahi Al Hamiri, director of the Abu Dhabi Police Traffic and Patrols Directorate, said drivers must never enter the area unless the exit is clear as it blocks traffic.

Abu Dhabi’s traffic law stipulates a Dh500 fine for stopping in the yellow box. The yellow box area is also monitored through surveillance cameras.
