PS launches ‘Cross Safely’ to enhance pedestrian safety

Colonel Omar Bu Ghanem, Director of the Traffic and Patrols Department, affirmed that this campaign is part of a series of annual awareness initiatives implemented by Sharjah Police. These efforts align with its broader strategy to improve road safety, reduce accidents and injuries, and raise traffic awareness. He added that the launch of the campaign is based on the analysis of field indicators, and it aims to instil a culture of respect for traffic rules among drivers and pedestrians alike and to curb violations associated with unsafe crossing behaviours.

Sharjah Police called on all members of the community to engage positively with the campaign and adhere to its message, emphasising that following traffic regulations is a shared responsibility that contributes to saving lives and ensuring the highest levels of safety on the emirate's roads.
