Speeding Violations and Penalties
Speeding is a significant concern addressed by the new AI surveillance system. Penalties for exceeding speed limits are as follows:
- Over 80 km/h: AED 3,000 fine, 60-day vehicle impoundment, and 23 black points.
- Over 60 km/h: AED 2,000 fine, 20-day vehicle impoundment, and 12 black points.
- Over 50 km/h: AED 1,000 fine.
- Over 40 km/h: AED 700 fine.
- Over 30 km/h: AED 600 fine.
- Over 20 km/h: AED 300 fine.
Accumulating 24 or more black points can result in a license suspension ranging from three months to a year.
Red Light Infractions
Running a red light incurs severe penalties:
- Fine: AED 1,000.
- Vehicle Impoundment: 30 days.
- Black Points: 12 points.
Failure to stay within mandatory lanes can lead to fines of up to AED 1,500 and 12 black points, particularly for heavy vehicles.
Distracted Driving and Seatbelt Enforcement
The AI system detects distracted driving behaviors:
- Using a Mobile Phone While Driving: AED 800 fine and 4 black points.
- Not Wearing a Seatbelt: AED 400 fine and 4 black points.
These measures emphasize the importance of attentive and safe driving practices.
Driving Against Traffic and Shoulder Misuse
Driving against the flow of traffic is a serious violation:
- Fine: AED 600.
- Vehicle Impoundment: 7 days.
- Black Points: 4 points.
Improper use of the hard shoulder results in an AED 1,000 fine, 30-day impoundment, and 6 black points, underscoring the need for adherence to designated lanes.
Vehicle Maintenance and Noise Regulations
Operating a vehicle that produces excessive noise is prohibited:
- Fine: AED 2,000.

This highlights the city’s commitment to minimizing noise pollution and ensuring vehicle maintenance standards.
Pedestrian Right-of-Way
Failing to yield to pedestrians at designated crossings is a serious offense:

This reinforces the priority of pedestrian safety in Dubai’s traffic management policies.
