On average, more than 90 people daily in Dubai drive through a red traffic light, and in most cases, these are tourists. The Dubai police fines 1,000 AED for running a red light.
In addition, the police have the authority to impound the violator’s car in the penalty yard for a minimum of 1 month. To keep the car with you, you’ll have to pay around 3,000 AED—thus, running a red light can cost the driver more than $1,000.
Red Light Violation Fines Table
| Violation | Fine Amount (AED) | Black Points | Vehicle Confiscation Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jumping a red signal in a car | 1000 | 12 | 30 days |
| Jumping a red signal by motorcycle | 1000 | 12 | 30 days |
| Jumping a red signal by heavy vehicles | 1000 | 12 | 30 days |
In Dubai, the fine for running a red light is also AED 1,000, but the fine for releasing the car from the penalty yard is many times higher. Running a red light in Abu Dhabi can also lead to the suspension of your driving license. If you are renting a luxury car in Dubai, pay special attention to the traffic lights to avoid these harsh penalties.
