friendly and helps reducepollution from vehicle

exhausts.

The project compris-es two lines: the Red Line

and Green Line. Operation ofthe first phase of the Red Line

started on 9/9/2009, and work isunderway in the other phases,bringing the number of stations

of the longest driverlesstrain in the world to

97 stations.



The importanceof this project lies in

easing congestion andtraffic jams.

We are now inthe Union Square

Station, the largest under-ground stations in the worldwith an area of 25 thousandsquare meters and a capac-

ity of approximately 22thousand passengers

per hour.

Upon completionof the project, there

will be 75 km of linesand 47 stations, includ-

When you click it,several options appear,including “Shadows” and

“Stroke” Options. We canchoose the “Shadow Color” we

Our friend Uncle Banda has a Driving Training Institute named

“Forest Institute”. He has four vehicles there, fitted with the

required specifications according to laws.

DDrriivviinngg IInnssttiittuuttee

One day the “Squirrel” went out with one of thetrainees, but did not fix up the “Training Sign” on

the vehicle.

But unfortunately, one of the trainers the “Squirrel”was irresponsible and uncommitted to the laws

despite being alerted by Uncle Banda more than once.



While the trainee was driving the vehicle, theSquirrel fell asleep!!

Suddenly, the vehicle veered off the course makingother drivers confused. They began sounding their hornsas they thought he was a driver, not a trainee driver asthe “Training Sign”, which indicates that the vehicle was

for training was not up on the top of the vehicle.

The Squirrel woke up, but it was too late as their

vehicle crashed into a rock outside the street.

The Squirrel was fined for not comply-ing with driving training institutes’ laws.



My friends, today wewill talk about heavy vehicles

violations.

HHeeaavvyy VVeehhiicclleess

Loot at that heavy vehicle! It passes along the

road where trucks movementis restricted!

And you can also seethat traffic sign fixed on thestreet. It clearly says “Heavy

Vehicles Prohibited”.

Passage or entry ofheavy vehicles into prohibited

places is a traffic violation punish-able by: a fine of AED 200 + 4traffic points + impounding the

vehicle for 7 days.



First Traffic Signal Lights were Powered by Gas

Today, my friends, we will learnabout the basic traffic signs that wesee in the street. They are the colorsof three traffic lights signals: red,orange and green. Our journey startsfrom the beginning of last century,when the English Engineer (G B.Knight) invented the first traffic signal.It consisted of two lamps, poweredby gas, one was red and the otherwas green in order to regulate themovement of trains so that they donot collide with each other when passing from the same place. But the signal didnot last for long. It exploded suddenly and killed the policeman who wascontrolling it. In 1914 that invention was developed to show three different colors:red, orange and green in the city of Cleveland, U.S.A. In 1918, the first traffic lightappeared in New York City. The first traffic signal appeared in Dubai in FahaidiStreet in 1971. Then in 2009 the number of intersections controlled by traffic lightsignals reached 370 in Dubai. Roads and Transport Authority in Dubai oversees

the operation of these traffic signals through the controlcenters, which control the length of time allotted for each

signal according to density and vehicular traffic at everyintersection or street. Salama Friends know very well what traffic signalcolors mean: the red color means stop, the greencolor means move, and the orange color means beready to stop, but what about the flashing green light? In July 2007, Roads and Transport Authority startedthe application of the flashing green light on trafficsignal lights in Dubai, which helps drivers stop on time.
