On the traffic side, SP raised the level of traffic readiness for patrols on the first school day of the new year, by intensifying traffic patrols at intersections and internal and external roads in the Emirate, with a number of 70 patrols, to regulate traffic and facilitate the movement of school buses. In addition to checking up on crossings of pedestrians, to ensure traffic safety for students while getting off the vehicle until reaching the school door, in order to achieve its objectives consistent with the Ministry of Interior’s strategy to make roads safer.

On the other hand, the Emiri Guard affirmed its keenness to provide the highest standards of security and traffic safety for school students.
