It is intended to serve the Dubai Traffic Safety Strategy endorsed by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum this year, comprising four pillars highlighted by traffic safety. This event contributes to achieving RTA’s KPI in traffic safety and (0) fatality per 100,000 of the population.” he concluded.
