To reduce unnecessary maneuvers and the chances of a fatal accident, Abu Dhabi Police urges motorists to keep right and let faster vehicles use the lanes to the left. If motorists notice cars overtaking from the right, they should move to the right lane and let faster vehicles pass from the left.
In line with recent accidents, Abu Dhabi Police also reminds motorists that overtaking from the right is illegal, according to Article 10.5 of the UAE Federal Traffic Law Number 21, 1995. Motorists are always requested to use their indicators and check properly before carrying out lane changes on the highway for their safety and those around them.
