Campaign Aims to Enhance Road Safety and Ensure Compliance with Technical Standards

Dubai. Roads and Transport Authority. 21st May 2025:

As part of its ongoing commitment to enhancing road safety standards and fulfilling its vision as the Global Leader in Seamless and Sustainable Mobility, Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), represented by the Licensing Activities Monitoring Department, launched a comprehensive inspection campaign titled 'Trailer Safety' in Q1 2025. The campaign focused on licensing issues and aimed to enhance the road safety of trailers and semi-trailers using the emirate's roadways, ensuring their compliance with technical standards and requirements.

The campaign included 2,638 field inspections of heavy vehicles at several strategic locations along key roads, notably Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and Emirates Road. During these inspections, 177 trailers were checked to ensure compliance with safety requirements, including tyre safety standards, brake efficiency tests, lighting systems, license validity, driver permits, and other essential procedures related to approved safety standards.

The campaign identified 134 technical faults and issued 88 violations against heavy trailers, addressing several key issues, including unroadworthy tyres, defective lighting on the rear and sides of the trailer, the absence of reflective stickers on the rear of trailers, and improper loading of vehicles that posed a danger to the road or other users.

Ahmed Mahboob, CEO of the Licensing Agency at RTA, stated: “The RTA is committed to conducting regular inspection campaigns across various sectors, with a particular focus on road transport, to ensure the highest levels of road safety.”

He added: “This campaign is included in the approved annual plan of the Licensing Activities Monitoring Department, as part of the RTA’s efforts to raise both public and professional awareness about the importance of complying with traffic laws and regulations. The goal is to curb violations through modern awareness methods, ensuring they reach all target groups. This initiative aims to prevent risks arising from neglect or a lack of regular technical maintenance of heavy vehicles within the road transport sector, which is one of the most vital and influential sectors in the transportation and road safety system.”
