Keep an eye out on the road signs and road markings in Abu Dhabi

You can avoid a traffic fine in Abu Dhabi by watching out the road signs and road markings while driving in Abu Dhabi. The Abu Dhabi transport authority has issued a strict warning for vehicles not to enter areas reserved for public bus.

Dedicated lanes for public buses are marked through a road marking that reads “Bus Only” or “Bus Lane” in Abu Dhabi. You may also find an entire lane marked in red which also identifies a bus lane. If you, as a driver, inadvertently drive into the lane, you will end up with a fine of AED 400 in Abu Dhabi.

  • Parking at the bus stop

The Integrated Transport Authority (ITC) of Abu Dhabi warned motorists about the dangers of parking at the bus stops. Parking cars at these places even for a short time is unsafe for road users as it makes it harder for buses to stop in the lay-by lane. Violating this rule will result in a AED 2,000 fine.

Using the bus stop to pick or drop off passengers increases the danger of road accidents or causes bus service delays.
