Abu Dhabi unveils enhanced security measures for New Year’s Eve

Abu Dhabi Police has unveiled its operational strategy to safeguard New Year’s Eve celebrations across the emirate. The focus is on ensuring the smooth flow of traffic and reduce traffic congestion.

According to Brigadier Mohammed Dahy Al-Hamiri, who heads the Central Operations Sector, police have developed an integrated security framework covering key tourist destinations, shopping districts and major roadways.

The comprehensive approach focuses on protecting celebrants while maintaining order across the emirate’s celebration venues.

Traffic safety will be a top priority for NYE celebrations. The Traffic Directorate and Security Patrols have implemented enhanced protocols, emphasising the importance of driver awareness and responsibility.

Motorists are being urged to observe posted speed limits, avoid mobile phone distractions and maintain proper following distances.

Officials have issued warnings against disruptive behaviours, including the use of party sprays, dangerous driving maneuvers and excessive noise that could compromise public safety.

By promoting responsible conduct and adherence to safety guidelines, Abu Dhabi Police seeks to showcase the nation’s commitment to both celebration and civic responsibility.
