\u201cThe Human Crossing\u201d is a innovative road\u00a0campaign that launched this month by\u00a0Volkswagen Middle East in\u00a0partnership\u00a0with Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority and Smart Dubai.\u00a0The campaign is in aid of trying\u00a0to make pedestrian crossings safer for UAE residents.<\/p>\n

According to Abu Dhabi Police, 20% of all traffic accidents in the UAE involve a pedestrian.\u00a0<\/h3>\n
In order to emphasise this issue, Volkswagen implemented a structure, arched over a pedestrian crossing outside of Gems Wellington Academy Silicon Oasis. The structure\u00a0then\u00a0highlights the name of individual students crossing beneath it \u2013 essentially\u00a0giving a face to each pedestrian and reminding motorists that the individual crossing could be their family, friend or neighbour.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n
\u201cRoad safety is an important issue for the UAE and broader region. In our commitment to road safety beyond the chassis of a car, we have launched a campaign working with our most vulnerable citizens to drive home an impactful message.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe goal is to make our roads more human. Human roads are safer roads, because they\u2019re full of compassion and care. At Volkswagen, we do everything to engineer safer cars \u2013 from brakes and air bags, to vehicle structural integrity – but we cannot engineer our surroundings. We can however, offer innovative ideas and initiatives that can create a positive discussion for change\u201d.<\/p>\n
