According to a senior official, the move is part of the RAK Police preparations for the new academic year 2013-2014 to ensure students’ safety, and ease bus drivers and parents’ suffering when transporting children to school and back.
Brigadier Mohammed Al Nubi, Deputy Director-General of the RAK Police, said the move, spanning the closure of the signals of the Saif & Obaidullah Hospital will help enhance traffic flow and curb accidents.
“More traffic patrols shall be deployed on all the internal roads and in front of all schools in the coming few days to secure the entry and exit of students in the mornings and afternoons.”
Brigadier Ghanim Ahmed Ghanim, Director-General of the central operations, RAK Police, said the traffic signals on the Shaikh Saqr bin Mohammed Al Qasimi Road shall be closed from September 5 and for three months.
“As an alternative, those driving to the hospital in the direction of the Shaml Al Rams Road and Khor Khweir may take the side lane.”
“Also, a U-turn has been opened for those coming from the Saif & Obaidullah Hospital in the direction of Al Nakheel and Ras Al Khaimah, opposite the Vegetables Market leading to the Gulf Cinema Intersection.”
Brig Ghanim urged all motorists to abide by traffic rules and regulations, and observe the signboards at road diversions and closures to curb traffic accidents. “Motorists may also use alternative roads to enhance traffic flow.”
Meanwhile, the RAK Traffic and Patrols department honoured a model driver for his clean record as part of the campaign themed ‘Thanks model driver’ being held on a monthly basis.
Lt-Col Ahmed Al Naqbi, Acting Director of the Traffic and Patrols Department, said the Emirati motorist Abdullah Mohammed Rashid, though licensed for driving since 1975, enjoyed a clean traffic record of no accidents or violations.
“The initiative will help encourage Emiratis and residents to be more responsible towards the society, and cooperate with the concerned bodies for a better security system.”
