The Dubai Police have issued a warning on Wednesday following a traffic accident that caused traffic jams on Sheikh Zayed Road road.

Dubai Police reported an accident at 7:47am through their official Twitter handle. "An accident between two vehicles on Sheikh Zayed Road after Safa bridge towards World Trade Centre, resulting in traffic delays," the Dubai Police said on Twitter.

In another tweet, the police also advised to take alternative route after an accident was reported on Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road at the exit going to Al khawaneej Street.

The police also called on motorists to drive with caution and follow the traffic rules.

In another tweet, Dubai Police advised commuters to wear the seatbelt for children. "The back seat is the safest place for children to sit."

In the UAE, a law was passed in July 2017 mandating that all passengers in the car should wear a seatbelt and kids under the age of four should be put in a car child seat.
"An infant car seat is designed to protect your child in the event of a crash by forming a protective cocoon. Newborn seats are placed facing rearward so that a child will be pushed into the seat on front-impact and the shell and inlay protect the spine and vital parts of the child. The higher sides next to the child's head form a 'side impact protection system' in the event of a side collision and avoid the child's head to move too much. The seatbelts retain the child during your trip and avoid that they get out. They also strap the child into the safest position and holds it there in the event of a rear or side impact, just like the seatbelts for adults," RoadSafetyUAE explained.
