A massive campaign aimed at enabling safe mobility and reducing traffic accidents and road fatalities resulted in the seizure of violating bikes across various areas and roads in Ras Al Khaimah.

The campaign was carried out by the Investigation and Traffic Control Section of the Traffic and Patrols Department in RAK from April 22 until May 1, during which, 491 unlicensed bikes were seized, including motorcycles, bicycles, and electric scooters.

The Traffic and Patrols Department of RAK Police stated that the campaign is part of the efforts of the Police General Headquarters, under the directives of Major General Ali Abdullah Bin Alwan Al Nuaimi, Commander-in-Chief of Police, to enhance road safety and control bikes which pose a real threat to the lives and safety of their riders and other road users.

It also emphasises the importance of adhering to traffic laws and regulations, he added.

The department urged parents to cooperate with police efforts by not allowing their children to ride bikes of any kind in non-designated areas, as this poses a danger to their safety and a real threat to their lives.
