Video: Abu Dhabi alerts system warns of traffic jams, bad weather

A new feature on the Abu Dhabi Police app sends real-time alerts that warn motorists about traffic jams and unstable weather conditions.

The new feature will enhance motorists’ safety and enable them to “pre-plan alternative routes”, the Abu Dhabi Government Media Office tweeted on Saturday.

Amid rough weather conditions like fog and rain, the alert system will warn motorists to reduce their speeds as is required in the Capital.
