Dubai police confirmed that violations monitored by radar devices for violators of the decision to restrict movement, in light of the extension of the national sterilization program throughout the day, are actually recorded, and the perpetrators receive notifications of that, and not just a mechanism for intimidation, as some think.

It also announced the opening of a fifth street to pass through the emirate, without any violation, which is Sheikh Zayed Road, and confirmed the continued ban on the passage of trucks.

In detail, the Director of the General Department of Security of Bodies, Installations and Emergencies in the Dubai Police, Major General Abdullah Al-Gheiti, said in an interview with the "Khalk At Home" program on Dubai TV, that the Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police, Lieutenant General Abdullah Khalifa Al-Marri, formed teams of police working in perfect harmony to implement The instructions related to the national sterilization program, and spreading awareness and security among the public, pointing out that neighborhood councils communicate with the public, schools and teachers, despite the application of the remote study system, within the framework of their societal role, and their keenness to approach with the public and enhance their sense of security.

On the situation in places with high density, such as the areas of workers housing, Al-Ghiti explained that there is a joint labor committee with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, and the General Administration of Residence and Foreigners Affairs, which handles the affairs of this category, stressing that the Dubai Police is keen to exist among the workers, and provide their needs and requirements All, in cooperation with partners, including providing them with masks, gloves and disinfectants.

He added that «the relationship between the Dubai police and the workers is good, which was reflected in their commitment to the instructions to a large extent, especially in light of the keenness to spread awareness among their ranks, so you don’t see a congestion on their part on groceries or restaurants.

He said that Dubai Police is keen to use artificial intelligence to spread awareness, and that it has the ability to target a specific region and send the appropriate message to it, in several languages.

For his part, the Director of the General Traffic Department, Brigadier Saif Muheir Al Mazrouei, stated that "canceling radar violations on the first day of the extension of the national sterilization was honored by the leadership, in light of the confusion of some people and their lack of familiarity with the decision mechanisms," pointing to "activating the violations system later, because The main goal of this measure is to protect people and to foster societal separation in these circumstances. ”

On the belief of some that the violations are not real, and that the radar issues a flash (flash) only for the purpose of intimidation, Al Mazrouei said that "the violations are real, and a fine of two thousand dirhams, and notify the perpetrators of notifications confirming this", asking everyone to abide by the directives.

He explained that it is necessary to keep the purchase bills, especially in cases where one vehicle is used by more than one person in the family, one of them may use it to purchase items, another to go to the hospital, a third for work, or any other place. In this case, the system can identify the vehicle by artificial intelligence, and determine its path. However, he cannot determine the purpose of the place visit, so invoices must be kept as proof of demand upon request.

Al Mazrouei pointed out that «the violations system, during the period of national sterilization that extends around the clock in Dubai depends on artificial intelligence, which corrects the violation directly even if the radar picks up the car, as it automatically recognizes the vehicles of the excluded groups, and holders of permits from community members who go out to spend Their necessary needs, "stressing that" just photographing the car with radar does not mean documenting the violation. "

He explained that the monitoring system can monitor any change in the car's path even if the owner of it is one of the excluded groups. If he deviates from his usual path from his work to his home and vice versa, he will receive the violation until he proves that his deviation from the path is necessary.

Al Mazrouei revealed the opening of Sheikh Zayed Road, to cross through Dubai to the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, or those coming from Abu Dhabi to other Emirates, while maintaining the cancellation of the truck traffic ban, so that you do not have to stand on the side of the road.

He emphasized communication with transportation companies to educate their drivers about the new procedures related to traffic and violations.

This brings the number of open streets to five, namely Emirates Road, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Street, Dubai-Hatta Street, Dubai-Al Ain Street, and finally Sheikh Zayed Street.

1,200 permits per minute

Director of the Dubai Traffic General Department, Brigadier Saif Muheir Al Mazrouei, said that the website for registering permits works very effectively, and it accommodates registering 1200 permits per minute. However, the number of permits he receives sometimes exceeds this number.

Just photographing a car with radar does not mean documenting the violation.
