Stiff penalties await motorists who disobey new rules governing traffic on roads shared with #DubaiTram, RTA Dubai has warned. New signs and pavement markings have been put up all along the 10.6 km tram network ahead of its November 11 opening and RTA has urged motorists as well as pedestrians to learn and understand the signs before they use roads shared with the tram. The trams pass through at least 30 junctions, crossings and intersections starting from Dubai Police Academy in #AlSufouh to #DubaiMarina and #JBR. The authorities are taking all necessary precautions to ensure the safety of all road users. Most of the new signs relate to restrictions about road use for motorists as well as pedestrians when they come across a moving tram or a track. RTA has announced huge fines for various offences related to disruption of tram movement, ranging from AED 2000- 30,000. Among the biggest offences is jumping the #RedLight at a tram intersection and causing a fatal accident. Apart from road signs, there are several regulatory #pavement markings that are unique to areas where the tram operates. Some examples of regulatory markings include zigzag lines where stopping a vehicle or changing lanes is prohibited at all times. Other pavement markings include yellow and white zebra crossings on tram tracks that are not controlled by traffic lights, and raised speed humps
