Ramadan is a time to slow down — and Dubai wants drivers to do exactly that.

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched a new road safety campaign focused on taxi drivers, delivery riders, and workers, aiming to reduce accidents during the holy month.

40,000 Leaflets Distributed Across Dubai

As part of the initiative, 40,000 awareness leaflets will be handed out with Iftar meals and Ramadan gift packages at various locations across the city. The campaign is being rolled out in partnership with both government and private sector entities.

The message is simple: drive safe, especially when fasting.

Why the Extra Focus During Ramadan?

Fasting can mean fatigue, lower energy levels, and reduced concentration — all of which increase the risk of accidents, especially close to Iftar when traffic peaks.

That’s why professional drivers, who spend long hours on the road, are a key focus this year.

Digital Reminders All Year Round

Beyond printed materials, the RTA is also using digital awareness tools to spread the message wider and keep road safety top of mind beyond Ramadan.

Ahmed Al Khzaimy, Director of Traffic at the RTA’s Traffic and Roads Agency, urged motorists to reflect the values of the holy month by following traffic rules, respecting others, and avoiding driving when tired or drowsy.

In short: patience, focus, and a little extra care can go a long way — especially during Ramadan rush hour.
