Sometimes vehicles occupy road shoulders and sidewalks when they want to avoid traffic jams, said one engineer El He.
Hassan Ali said some truck drivers may feel tired or exhausted but there are no rest places on high ways so some of them park their cars on road shoulders, which could cause accidents. He noted that the concerned authorities should construct rest areas or make wide road shoulders around the city.
Major-General Mohammed Saif Al Zafin, Director of General Department of Traffic, said that the Dubai Police is keen to prevent people from using road shoulders, which were designed to be used in emergency cases, adding that Dubai Traffic police has installed 14 road shoulder radars on various roads to control drivers who move on road shoulders.
The traffic department had specified areas that needed intensive radar control. He also said that the Dubai Traffic police has installed a new electronic device, which could detect eight types of traffic violations, inside police patrol vehicles and vehicles of undercover agents. These vehicles will tour the Emirate to record traffic offences.
The electronic device has the ability to record eight types of traffic violations, including speeding, not keeping safe distance, ignoring lane discipline, reckless driving, use of mobile phones while driving, road shoulder violation, not using indicators while changing lanes, and parking vehicles in non-designated places. He said the device will be equipped with a radar to record speeding and a video camera to record the violations.
