Abstract EN
Abu Dhabi faces the challenge of increased traffic congestion and traffic accidents.
This study identified interventions and solutions for mitigating road accidents in Abu Dhabi.
The study was guided by researcher questions that focused on the causes of accidents and road accident prevention strategies.
The study was based on observational descriptive methodology where quantitative data were collected using a detailed survey questionnaire that assessed various aspects relating to the driver's behaviour.
The survey data was collected from 400 respondents, which included 200 drivers, 100 police officers and 100 staff in the traffic department.
The study findings showed that the common traffic problems on Abu Dhabi's roads include the driver- related factors, vehicular factors, and the road condition-related factors.
Risky overtaking, violation of the need to keep a safe distance and violation of speed limits were noted as the major violations that are associated with the traffic problems on Abu Dhabi's roads.
According to this study, the effective approach towards the management of road accidents in Abu Dhabi includes the enforcement of regulation regarding the close following, strict speed limits on 80 KM roads, and the introduction of random breath testing of drivers.
