The move is in response to complaints from several members of the public about lack of zebra crossings, pedestrian bridges and underpasses in vital areas, forcing them to endanger their lives.
Speaking with Khaleej Times, Muhsin Belwan, Director of Traffic Engineering in the department, said zebra crossings have been marked on streets where there had been a number of accidents involving pedestrians. These are near Sharjah Education Zone building on King Abdul-Aziz Street; near Sharjah Cooperative Society Al Arouba Street in Al Khalidiya area; near Carrefour Express on Al Khan Road; near Ewan hotel on Al Mina Street; and near Sharjah Municipality’s public health clinic Shaikh Sultan bin Saqr Al Qasimi Street located between Al Nasseriya and Maysalon.
The department has also completed the construction of underpasses near Ajman Bank on Buhairah Corniche and near Hilton Hotel for people to cross between Al Majaz and the Khalid lagoon.
Belwan said the location of the underpasses was decided on the basis of studies which considered the speed limit of the road, its importance and volume of pedestrians in the area.
He pointed out that the deaprtment is carrying out studies in coordination with the police about the roads that witness a large number of pedestrian deaths every year and it would provide zebra crossings, pedestrian underpasses and bridges based on these studies to ensure the safety of the public all parts of the emirate.
The department has also installed eight cameras at traffic signal lights along Shaikh Rashid Al Qasimi Road near Al Sahaba mosque intersection to ensure traffic safety.
These cameras function with sensors and read the traffic volume and, accordingly, calibrate signal lights to organise traffic movement.
The department has urged people to call its toll-free number 80086767 for registering complaints, suggestions and queries.
