RTA Traffic fines in Dubai Abu Dhabi UAE
I always make it a point that I drive carefully on road for my personal safety and safety of other commuters on the road. And however careful you are, there may be times that you just forget to renew your parking ticket or you just the red light and get a traffic fine. For me, it is always be careful than to be sorry!
Many of us may not be aware of the various fines that are imposed on various violations in Dubai. You can always check your traffic fines online on Dubai Police Site, Abu Dhabi Police site or RTA site.
Traffic fines are avoidable through following ways:
- Don’t drive rash, however tempting it is, especially on Sheikh Zayed Road. The maximum speed in most highways is 120 Kilometers per hour with an upper limit of 20 Kilometers.
- Follow lane discipline. Respect other drivers by giving a courtesy indicator while changing lanes.
- Always drive with valid driver’s license, insurance and vehicle registration. You do not want to get into legal mumbo-jumbo later.
- Never drive under the influence of alcohol.
- Respect traffic signals. If the green light starts blinking, stop your vehicle at the signal.
- Do not flash other vehicles unless it is emergency. This is RUDE!

Hello Deepak,
I was driving at Sheikh Zayed Road today morning around 6:50 AM going to my office. I always use this road and drive at the same speed. Never this happened but today I was driving under 100 Kph but I saw the flash. You think it is for me or for any other driver. What is the radar limit at Sheikh Zayed Road. I am sure there is a leverage up to 110 Kph. Please advise. Thankyou.

Paid the fine online but did not reflect in the system. Paid the other fine through kiosk and it clears instantly. I am still waiting till not for the other fine to be cleared, I paid it November 11 2015 and it is December 6 now. I cannot register my car.
Is this normal when you pay online?
Yes, it takes couple of days to get cleared in the system.

Hello Deepak
By mistake i entered in the prohibited area in dubai .where it was written (except rta buses and taxis)..can you please tell me how much will be charged?

Read rule no 149: http://emiratesdiary.com/uae-tips/list-of-traffic-fines-in-dubai-abu-dhabi-uae
Adu Dhabi red light crossing track fine pls
Aman,
Jumping a red light fine is AED 800, 8 Black points, 15 Days impounding.
Is it an offence if a child is made to sit on a child car seat and fixed on the front seat??
Riyaz,
For safety reasons, it is better to make the child sit in child seat at the back seat.
Please do not think about offence; it is really a safety issue. Even car manufacturers clearly mention it not to make your child sit in the front seat.
please guys and girls alart me any new rols of UAE triffic violation
