Lieutenant Colonel Al Naqbi said parking and traffic violations usually rise during Ramadan and the authorities are working overtime to rein in the growing menace.
The campaign seeks to make the public aware about the importance of safe driving.
The official attributed the reason for the launch of the campaign as being based on data, which showed an uptick in both parking and traffic violations since last year.
The raging Covid-19 pandemic has led the awareness drive to be conducted in two ways.
A digital initiative has been unveiled via various social media platforms in Arabic, English and Urdu. A physical mode has also been rolled out, where police personnel can be seen distributing warning stickers to motorists.
The motorists have been urged to obey parking and traffic rules to preserve the safety and security of road users.
