The Abu Dhabi Police have shared guidelines for motorists to follow traffic when they are driving around school districts.
The authority took to social media to detail four important rules that will ensure the safety of pupils as well as motorists.
As per UAE traffic laws, motorists are required to slow down and be alert and priority must be given to students, parents and school staff when driving in such zones.
Four steps to remember:
