Abu Dhabi aims to boost safety on dangerous road

  • United Arab Emirates: Wednesday, July 15 - 2009 at 13:57

The government of Abu Dhabi has announced that it is launching an $11m programme to improve safety on the highway considered to be the most dangerous in the UAE. The 327km Al Mafraq - Al Ghowaifat highway is a vital road that links the UAE to Saudi Arabia, but it accounted for 14% of all road accidents in Abu Dhabi last year, the capital's Department of Transport said. The safety programme involves closing dangerous U-turns, installing speed humps and signage, and improving pedestrian crossings.
