Ajman Traffic Rule: Delivery Riders Barred from Fast Lanes
Ajman has enforced a new traffic rule for delivery riders to ensure road safety. The Ajman Traffic Rule bans them from using fast, left-most lanes on multi-lane roads.
Right Lanes Only for Delivery Riders
Delivery riders in Ajman must stick to the right-most lanes while on duty. Authorities announced this on Thursday to align Ajman’s policies with Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Ajman Follows Dubai and Abu Dhabi
Dubai and Abu Dhabi already have similar traffic restrictions in place. Ajman’s rule now creates a uniform delivery rider policy across the three emirates.
Clear Lane Guidelines for Riders
On three-lane roads, riders must use only the two right lanes. On four-lane roads, they cannot ride on the two left-most lanes at all.
Lane Rules in Other Emirates
In Abu Dhabi, riders can use only the right-most lane on 100 km/h roads. They may use two right lanes on three- and four-lane roads at high speeds. Five-lane roads allow riders to use the three right-most lanes only.
Dubai’s Traffic Restrictions Since 2021
Dubai set delivery bike rules in 2021 to improve safety. The city bans left-lane riding and limits delivery speeds to 100 km/h. In addition to not permitting delivery riders to use the left lane, it also set a speed limit of Dh100kmph for these motorists
Violations Can Lead to Heavy Fines
Delivery riders violating the Ajman Traffic Rule face fines up to Dh700. Repeated violations may result in permit suspension for the delivery rider.
Authorities Aim to Boost Road Safety
Ajman authorities said these rules protect riders and other motorists on fast-moving roads. They urge all delivery companies to inform and train their riders immediately.
Summary
The Ajman Traffic Rule promotes safety and mirrors policies in other major emirates. Authorities now expect full compliance from all riders and delivery companies operating in Ajman.
