Abu Dhabi Police have warned that  motorists who fail to stop and give way to pedestrians will face a fine of Dhs500 and will also incur 6 black points.

Article 69 of the Federal Traffic and Traffic Law stipulates that fine for not giving priority for pedestrians in places designated for crossing is Dhs500 and 6 black points.

The video released by Abu Dhabi Police shows two cyclists crossing the road at a zebra crossing.

Few seconds later, one of the cyclists is knocked down by a van as its driver fails to reduce the speed in time.

The video was released as part of the Abu Dhabi Police’s campaign to create traffic safety awareness.
