The warning also included situations where individuals may leave children, particularly infants, inside running vehicles. Such acts endanger the lives of the children as they might suffocate due to the high temperature inside the car during summer.
The Directorate of Traffic and Patrols expressed a commitment to promoting security awareness and stressed the importance of avoiding negligence by leaving vehicles unattended with engines running.
The authorities also pointed out that Article 5 of Article 4 of the Traffic Rules states that drivers should refrain from parking in prohibited areas. If forced to park on the road, necessary measures must be taken to ensure traffic safety. Failing this, the vehicle and its engine should be left running, with the belief that it will not move in the driver's absence. Additionally, drivers face a fine of Dh500 for disregarding traffic signs and instructions.
