Fines:
No Matter, what is your visa status, you can not be forgiven once you are caught. So be careful on following common fines.
1) Just cross the road at zebra crossing otherwise, you shall be penalized 200 dh/5800 Rs. So, do not get tempted by seeing careless other pedestrians. Just in last two months since jan 1, 2016 till Feb 25, 2016???, 25,000 Dubai pedestrians penalised for jaywalking.
Be remember please. If you do not cross the road from the Zebra crossing & any car hit you deliberately/un deliberately, action will be taken against only you (Even, if you get injured badly).

**For those people who work in Dubai & drive a car. I have seen few Pakistanis who wanted to go back to Pakistan on annual leave but they were stopped at the airport because there were due traffic fines upon them, recorded by speed gun & cameras on the roads but they were unaware of it so,when they were leaving Dubai, they were stopped at the airport & they had to clear their dues. My one friend checked out his car number, he came to know that there were fine amount of 2100 dh/61000 Rs in 8 months. So, even if you give a car to your friend for one day or two then at least check with the department if your car get any fine due to over speeding. Sometime, driver doesn't realize the camera flash for the over speed especially if he busy in talking on mobile with female
Here are few snaps. I have search them online to make few things understand to readers. As, I said earlier, once you are caught, no matter, whether you have money or not......Inspector will not forgive you.
Can you see one pink lines on the floor? When you stand at the platform of the metro then do not stand on these pink lines. This is just for Ladies entrance for ladies section.
********
Look at floor. This is a inside view of the boundary line. Its pink in color. Just stay away from it. Be care ful when you enter in the train through that cabin which is next to the ladies cabin because there is no bar inside so sometimes, person does not realize and stand at the side of the ladies cabin. When inspector come and penalized him then he comes to know about his mistake. Sadly, even other passengers do not tell the person if he wrongly stand in the ladies cabin. Daily average of 100 men are penalized for this mistake.
This is a Nol card reader radar. It tells every detail about your Nol card. Whether passenger swipe his card or not? At which station did he swipe his card? or sometime, passenger try to check out his card one station before. He is penalized for cheating. So, radar tells everything.
This is a RTA bus inspector. He can enter in the Bus anytime, & anywhere. Once, he enters in the Bus, all doors are automatically closed. No one can run away. Daily 10/11 passengers are caught/penalized by each inspector.
