Muscat: The Royal Oman Police have warned drivers against breaking traffic rules.
Jumping red lights means risking lives, said the Royal Oman Police (ROP) in a recently launched report on Youtube.
The report, posted in Arabic by the Public Relations Department of the ROP, reminds the public of the dangers of overlooking red lights.
Displaying graphic footage of actual accidents after motorists failed to stop at red lights, the ROP said that accidents caused by running red lights are ‘the most devastating’ and ‘a major cause of death’.
Ali bin Mohammed Al Ma’amari of the ROP General Directorate of Traffic noted that “being alert on the road is the prime duty of every motorist, be it at traffic lights or in the street.”
At a traffic light, one must be particularly alert.
“Drivers should stick to their lanes and not quickly switch lanes just before the traffic signal”, Times of Oman quoted him as saying.
