The moment Dubai Tram commences operations is near. Accessibility will be improved with the transportation network of Dubai getting more exciting.
The tram will cross over bridges, crawl through crowded streets and ride parallel to Sheikh Zayed Road.
For commuters, the introduction of Dubai Tram means a re-evaluation of road and traffic rules since Dubai Tram will criss-cross regular traffic at about 30 junctions, with crossings and intersections starting from Dubai Police Academy in Al Sufouh to Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Beach Residence.
Additional road signs have been put up, road markings painted on the roads, barriers placed, additional traffic signs erected and new traffic fines have been approved.
In driving schools, the new traffic rules have been incorporated in the driving manual, as well as in the theory test.
Before the road is shared with Dubai Tram on November 11, Emirates 24|7 has identified the most important rules, signs and fines.
This is the first part, dealing with the rules and fines.
