Drivers of heavy vehicles are advised to follow the guidelines for their own safety and that of other road users. Drivers must stay in the right lane of the road, except when overtaking. In this case, the motorist should first check the side mirrors to make sure there are no blind spots before overtaking. After this, they must use signals from the beginning. After overtaking, the driver must return to the right lane.
The decision aims to raise traffic safety levels in the UAE and strengthen the logistics transportation sector by increasing the level of traffic congestion in the emirate.
According to authorities, the road will be monitored by traffic patrols and intelligent systems. Those who do not respect the overtaking rules will be subject to criminal action.
