Dear Mr Thomas

First of all a very Good Morning and Happy New Year ahead

I am writing again just because of frustration on Roads, how much careful can we take on roads that much i am
Taking and since i am driving here for more than 30 years

I have never seen situation like this where Bicycle riders take it for granted and drive as they like criss cross and without any signal as they like

UAE roads are mostly 60 kms and above and the new delivery boys and people going for work to avoid the transportation cost who are here are mostly from India Pakistan Bangladesh or African countries

Here there are rules and in my country there are rules but no one obeys them except when they see the Traffic Police

Nowadays driving here is a nightmare
So i humbly request you to bring this to the Traffic Patrols Dept to look into it especially during morning hours from 6.30 am to 10 am which is the duty / office timing

Nowadays we dont see traffic patrols on the roads except if any accidents occur -

Also another issue is the JAY WALKING in between vehicles stopped near signals , we cannot see if anyone is crossing the road when we come in the empty lane on the left or right side

For your information, we can sometimes see normal persons in trousers and jackets catching people crossing the signals when the pedestrian light is RED or when it becomes Red when they are half way but bigger violations are happening and they should regularly do this for atleast a month then only the news will spread among common people – when we talk to officers they say the rules and information is in social media – these common workers who looks into facebook and Twitter or Instagram who works for 12 hrs – so the awareness should be on the road and not in BIG malls where these common people does not come

Like TALABAT riders or NOON riders dows not have leisure time to visit malls – i used to go to a Saloon and that man have never visited a mall in the last 3 years – they visit only for shopping when going on vacation -

I have recently been to USA and very impressed by the road manners observed there

So as a safety concerned person ( only you can do this) so i kindly request your kind intervention to discuss this with the Safety Dept of the Traffic and Patrols to do the needful to make the roads safer in this way – Other RADARS to catch mobile phone etc are working their way

But Bicycles and Jay walking and the New Drivers coming feom ONE WAY entry roads area big issue nowadays, also TAXIS drivers that can’t imagine the racing on toads

Earlier i can see police patrol man on motorcycles catching in One way or NO ENTRY areas now a-days nothing

So pls take it up with authorities

Thanks & Regards
