Dubai Police have seized 1,230 vehicles and issued 33,372 traffic fines as part of the 'Quiet Roads' initiative. The initiative aims to enhance public tranquillity, improve road safety indicators, and elevate the quality of life in residential communities.
Brigadier Jumaa Salem bin Suwaidan, Director of the General Department of Traffic at Dubai Police, said, “The campaign was launched in response to recurring negative traffic behaviours observed in certain residential neighbourhoods, including excessive noise, reckless driving, and illegal vehicle modifications, all of which directly impact residents’ comfort and wellbeing.”
Brigadier Jumaa Salem bin Suwaidan revealed that violations included 1,178 cases of unauthorised modifications to vehicle engines or chassis, 412 violations for causing noise disturbance, 341 violations for reckless driving that endangers lives and property, and 230 violations related to the misuse of vehicle horns or audio systems causing public nuisance.
In addition, the campaign also recorded 17,117 violations involving motorcycles and 14,094 violations related to electric bikes and bicycles, highlighting the scale of enforcement efforts targeting behaviours that disturb public peace and threaten road users’ safety in residential areas.
Authorities urged the public to cooperate and report negative traffic behaviours through official channels, supporting ongoing efforts to protect lives and property and enhance quality of life across the emirate.
