Sharjah Police have issued a definitive Saturday deadline for motorists to remove all National Day celebration decals from their vehicles, with violations announced for non-compliance following recent traffic safety enforcement actions. The directive comes as authorities revealed they impounded 106 vehicles and nine motorcycles during the 54th Eid Al Etihad celebrations due to serious traffic offenses that jeopardized public safety.
According to the official advisory from Sharjah Police General Command, vehicles found displaying National Day stickers beyond the December 6 deadline will face financial penalties. This regulatory measure follows a documented pattern of traffic violations during the national celebrations, including excessive noise generation, public disturbance, and reckless driving maneuvers that endangered road users. Police reports additionally indicated that some apprehended motorists were operating vehicles without valid driving licenses.
The enforcement initiative aligns with observed changes in National Day celebration patterns, as earlier reported by Khaleej Times. Vehicle decorators noted a growing preference among residents for more sophisticated and minimalist car designs during the recent celebrations, with customization shops experiencing increased demand for creative yet tasteful expressions of national pride.
This coordinated approach to traffic regulation demonstrates Sharjah authorities’ balanced strategy of encouraging patriotic expression while maintaining strict road safety standards and public order considerations.
