AED 400 Jaywalking Fine Issued as Dubai Police Launch Street Drive
Officers are stepping onto the pavement across Dubai’s police station jurisdictions to talk directly to residents on foot and drivers behind the wheel. The General Department of Police Stations, working alongside the General Department of Traffic, has launched a field-level awareness campaign across the emirate’s densely populated neighborhoods and high-foot-traffic zones. Field teams are visiting streets within their local jurisdictions to provide practical advice on safe crossings, targeting the exact places where foot traffic and vehicle lanes meet.
AED 400 Fine Enforced for Undesignated Road Crossings
Foot patrols are reminding pedestrians that skipping the zebra line or stepping out against a red light carries real consequences. Article 89 of the Federal Traffic Law lays down a clear penalty: an AED 400 fine for any pedestrian who ignores traffic signals or crosses roads at undesignated points.
Brigadier Majid Sultan Al Suwaidi, Director of the General Department of Police Stations, emphasized that staying safe requires pedestrians to check for oncoming traffic, stick to marked intersections
