UAE Traffic Alert: Abu Dhabi Modifies Truck Ban Hours for Ramadan

Abu Dhabi police have officially announced a significant revision in the timing of the traffic ban imposed on trucks and heavy vehicles navigating the emirate’s roads during the sacred month of Ramadan.

The official notification was systematically disseminated through various social media channels, effectively reaching and informing the public about the amended schedule for the rush-hour restriction. The primary focus of this restriction remains on trucks and buses responsible for transporting more than 50 workers, contributing to a safer and more organized traffic flow during the holy month.

General Mahmoud Youssef Al Balushi, the esteemed Director of the Directorate of Traffic and Security Patrols in the Central Operations Sector, provided crucial insights into the revised regulations. According to his announcement, heavy vehicles will now face restrictions from traveling on Abu Dhabi roads during the peak hours of both the morning and evening, aligning with the city’s commitment to prioritizing safety and efficiency in traffic management.

Throughout the holy month of Ramadan, the implementation of the prohibition spans a crucial timeframe. Specifically, heavy vehicles will be restricted from 8 am to 10 am during the morning hours and from 2 pm to 4 pm in the evening. These carefully chosen periods aim to address and mitigate traffic congestion during the times when road usage is typically at its peak.

To ensure the effective enforcement of these updated regulations, comprehensive measures are being put in place. Traffic patrols will be strategically deployed across all major roads, and the monitoring efforts will be further strengthened through the application of sophisticated smart systems. This multifaceted approach is designed to enhance traffic control and safety during the specified periods of restriction, promoting a harmonious coexistence of various road users and fostering a secure and efficient transportation environment in Abu Dhabi.
