Dubai Police authorities issued a public safety advisory on Saturday, December 27, 2025, following a traffic incident on Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road (E311). The collision occurred opposite Global Village on the Dubai-bound carriageway, prompting immediate police response and traffic management measures.
Motorists traveling through the affected corridor were advised to exercise heightened caution and anticipate possible delays due to ongoing emergency operations. Police communications emphasized the importance of maintaining traffic flow and avoiding unnecessary slowdowns near accident sites.
Authorities reiterated their longstanding warning against rubbernecking—the dangerous practice of slowing down to observe accident scenes. This behavior not only violates UAE traffic regulations carrying a financial penalty of Dh1,000 but also creates secondary hazards. Rubbernecking can impede emergency response teams attempting to reach collision sites and potentially trigger chain-reaction accidents, thereby exacerbating risks to public safety.
The timely notification demonstrates Dubai Police’s continued commitment to proactive traffic management and accident prevention strategies. Such real-time advisories have become increasingly important on Dubai’s major roadways, particularly during peak travel periods and near high-traffic attractions like Global Village.
Commuters were encouraged to monitor official channels for updates regarding traffic normalization and to adhere to all police directives when passing through affected areas.
