Abu Dhabi Police has urged all motorists to closely monitor weather conditions before setting out on their journeys especially with forecasts indicating rainfall and unstable weather over the coming days emphasizing the importance of staying updated through official channels and making informed decisions prior to driving in order to ensure public safety and minimize potential risks on the roads.
Authorities stressed the need for drivers to reduce speeds on both internal and external roads under unstable weather conditions while maintaining a safe following distance between vehicles to prevent sudden accidents caused by skidding or reduced visibility as driving during rainy conditions can present significant challenges that require heightened caution and awareness.
Abu Dhabi Police also highlighted the importance of strictly adhering to safety guidelines and instructions issued by relevant authorities and warned against approaching areas with flowing valleys or water accumulation zones which may pose direct danger to both drivers and vehicles particularly during rapid weather changes that could lead to sudden rises in water levels.
The police further warned against distractions while driving including taking photos or recording videos noting that such behaviors are among the leading causes of traffic accidents as they result in a loss of focus and attention during critical moments that could otherwise be avoided with full concentration on the road.
The Traffic and Patrols Directorate explained that full compliance with posted speed limits as indicated on road signs and electronic guidance boards plays a crucial role in reducing traffic accidents and enhancing overall road safety especially under weather conditions that may lower visibility levels and increase the likelihood of skidding requiring drivers to exercise greater caution and responsibility at all times.
