Abu Dhabi Police urge pedestrians to use designated crossing areas

Abu Dhabi Police has issued a public appeal for pedestrians to prioritize safety by utilizing designated crossing points. The Directorate General of Traffic and Patrols stressed the importance of using crosswalks, bridges, and underpasses, alongside adhering to pedestrian traffic signals. The police force highlighted the significant risks associated with random road crossing, which endanger both pedestrians and other road users. This initiative is part of Abu Dhabi Police's broader strategy to enhance smart road security and ensure the safety of all individuals using the roads. Drivers are also called upon to exercise increased caution, particularly near designated crossing zones. They are urged to reduce their speed and grant pedestrians the right of way, reinforcing the message that pedestrian safety is a collective responsibility. The police aim to foster a culture of shared accountability to prevent accidents and maintain a secure traffic environment.
