Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched an additional number plate that will be placed at the rear for bike racks mounted behind vehicles.
The initiative is launched in order to ensure that the number plate is on display and not hidden to avoid a traffic violation.
Jamal Al Sadah, Director of Vehicles Licensing, Licensing Agency at RTA said, “This initiative is in line with the top international practices adopted by the RTA to encourage the public from different segments of society to use bicycles which fits well with the initiative to transform Dubai into a bicycle-friendly city and for the Emirate to be within the world’s best bicycle-friendly cities, in addition to preventing bicycle owners from committing traffic violations stipulated in the traffic laws of UAE. This initiative has been launched in response to feedback and proposals made by the public, which underscores the commitment of motorists to comply with the driving and traffic safety laws in the UAE in general and Dubai in particular.”
