Abu Dhabi Police have made smart cameras operational at several intersections.
The motorists who change lanes at traffic light-controlled intersections or turn from the wrong lane will be fined AED 400.

The smart cameras and radars have been switched on in the emirate, meaning regular offenders will start racking up heavy penalties and earlier the monitoring of rule-breakers at intersections was done by a police officer on duty, who would make a note of the licence plate and register the fine manually.
Intersections will now be equipped with smart cameras that record breaches and Abu Dhabi Police released a video showing examples of conduct that will land one fines including crossing a solid line between lanes at traffic lights.

The other example cited by Abu Dhabi Police was of motorists making U-turns, where such manoeuvres are prohibited.
Earlier this month the force posted footage online of a white SUV crashing into a minibus after taking a left turn while the light was red.
