Dubai is aiming for an accident-free Ramadan and it’s actually a campaign. You see, when it’s almost time for Iftar, and people are still on road, they tend to speed up to reach their Iftar location. In an effort to reduce speeding, Dubai Police created the Accident-Free Ramadan campaign

7,000 Iftar meals get distributed to drivers on the road, by Dubai Police to avoid speeding

As part of the campaign, Dubai Police collabed with partners and volunteers to distribute 7,000 iftars every day to fasting drivers at sunset before Maghreb prayer

The move would help raise awareness of the dangers of speeding and would let drivers know not to rush to break their fast. Brigadier Saif Muhair Al Mazroui, Director of the General Directorate of Traffic in Dubai Police also urged drivers to abide by traffic rules during Ramadan and show patience with other drivers during fasting hours.

Police have been making it more convenient for drivers by regulating traffic and ensuring decongestion. They’ve also been facilitating the movement of worshippers who are entering or exiting mosques.

Residents are encouraged to report traffic violations to 901 or via the Police Eye service on Dubai Police smart app.
