The Abu Dhabi Police has launched a new road alert system across its highways, featuring colored lights to alert drivers of upcoming traffic incidents and adverse weather conditions to enhance road safety across the capital.
In a tweet on Monday, the Abu Dhabi Police has posted a video differentiating what each color means.
“Lights flash in red and blue to alert drivers of an upcoming traffic accident,” the Abu Dhabi Police stated.
“A yellow light flashes to warn of adverse weather conditions including fog, dust, rain, or any incident on the road that drivers must be aware,” it added.
