The Roads and Transport Authority in Dubai is responsible for creating rules and regulations regarding driving in the emirate. These rules are subject to change from time to time and therefore motorists must keep themselves updated with notifications from the RTA.
Here are the five essential rules drivers need to know for 2025:
Driver’s license: The legal minimum age for applying for a driving license for motorcycles and cars is 17 years. Previously it was 18 years for cars and 17 years for motorcycles. The new regulation announced in October 2024 will come into force on March 29, 2025.
Noise protection regulations: The new regulations restrict the use of car horns in cities. The horn may only be used in emergencies. Noisy vehicles are also prohibited on the streets. Vehicles that cause excessive noise will be banned and will be fined.
Seat belt: Seatbelts are required for passengers in the front and rear seats. Seat belts increase the safety of passengers in the event of a collision with another vehicle or object.
Use of mobile phones: Using mobile devices while driving distracts drivers and leads to accidents. Therefore, those caught driving with a mobile phone may be fined AED 800.
Speed limits and risky behavior: Speed limits apply in cities and violations are punished with heavy fines. Drunk driving is prohibited and anyone caught driving under the influence of alcohol will be punished. Driving in a flooded valley is also not permitted.
Why the new rules?
The new traffic rules come into force in view of the increasing number of accidents and mishaps on the roads. The new regulations also help keep pace with global transportation developments. The new rules and regulations are intended to regulate the use of autonomous driving and electric vehicles in the UAE.
