The Joint Committee for Traffic Safety in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi has launched a motorcycle safety awareness campaign.
The campaign is aimed to support deliverymen employed by restaurants, consumer goods stores, courier services and other similar businesses across different sectors.
In accordance with the Vision Zero strategy launched earlier in the year, the aim is to avoid road fatalities.
The initiative of the campaign is to increase traffic awareness, offer a safe and sustainable transport network for the public and make it safer for residents and enhance their quality of life.
The campaign urges motorcyclists and companies working in the delivery field to follow all traffic and road safety rules and avoid any illegal behaviours including speeding, non-compliance with road lanes, wrong overtaking, the failure to indicate with sidelights when overtaking and veering after lane changes that may endanger drivers and road users.
All necessary safety equipment like helmets and clothing suitable for motorcyclists must also be worn at all times.
