Sunil here to talk about the steep Dubai traffic fines

Like in most major cities, Dubai traffic fines have been established as a means to correct traffic violators whether you are a local or a tourist.

These traffic violations have corresponding penalties from monetary fines to having to go on a seminar if there is continuous repetition of traffic violations.

For more extreme violations it could result in the license being revoked, and possibly even jail time.

Through the years the Dubai police have been improving the prevention of traffic violations and keeping track of the people who have violations in their record.

They now have Traffic Institute where the main goal is to increase the people’s awareness when it comes to traffic rules and regulations.

The institute aims to provide education in form of various traffic courses and seminars and provide rehabilitation to reckless drivers so that committing dangerous road violations can be prevented in the future.

Basically this institute is responsible for improving the traffic conditions of the city by taking the necessary steps in developing new laws, fines and procedures that should be followed.

Now when it comes to fines, you, as a motorist or as a pedestrian should know why you are being fined and usually once you get a traffic violation, the police would inform you of the traffic violations and the traffic fines that you are to pay. You will have to settle these Dubai traffic fines in police stations or you can settle them online though the E-payment channels for traffic violations. The policeman will give you this URL.

If you have outstanding tickets you can also inquire through text message what your total fines are. This is a convenient way for to find out how much exactly you need to pay and to keep track of your traffic violations so that you know when you are approaching the black zone, where you will be forced to take seminars or road safety rehabilitation. But you will never even get close to this point right?

Online payment of Dubai traffic rule fines give the people the flexibility of settling their accounts should there be difficulty in going to a physical location such as a police station. Other means of paying fines would be through the many Kiosk Services that are located throughout the city, through cash deposit machines, IVR services, Star Service, mPay and like I mentioned, even through SMS service. There is really no excuse for you, or anyone, not to be able to settle traffic violation fines timely.

With the efforts of the Dubai police, the city has seen a significant decrease in the number of traffic violations year after year, and their continuous campaigns have made sure that the citizens are kept aware and updated of new road and pedestrian laws that keep everyone safe.

Remember that even if you are not a citizen or a local, you will still be subject to these laws and if you violate them. You will have to pay these fines accordingly, and there are no exceptions to the rules.
