With 1.6 deaths per 100,000 people, Dubai’s 2023 road fatality rate was the lowest ever. This was well beneath the objective of bringing the rate down to two last year.
Officials said on Wednesday that the fatality rate from traffic accidents dropped by 93% between 2007 and 2023. The number of deaths that were recorded was not specified. The Dubai Traffic Safety Strategy has set a lofty goal of eliminating all road fatalities.
This occurred during a meeting of coordination between Dubai Police and the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). Last year, “enhanced traffic enforcement” initiatives had been implemented by both organizations. In 2023, they recorded more than 500,000 violations involving e-scooters, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrian crossings.
Different measures included contemplating and tending to 29 locales with repeating episodes; carrying out the savvy the executives project for public vehicle drivers; directing joint traffic mindfulness and requirement missions; and sending off mindfulness and investigation lobbies for conveyance bike riders.
The different sides talked about the necessities of the Dubai Police to guarantee the security of travelers and resources of the Blue Line project broadening 30km, highlighting 14 stations. The line, which is scheduled to be finished in 2029, serves nine areas and connects with the Red Line at Centrepoint Station and the Green Line at Al Khor Station. It is anticipated that the new line will handle 200,000 daily passengers.
