Overview

  • Dubai Police will add more noise-detection radars across the city as part of its smart traffic-management system.
  • The devices measure sound levels, identify the offending vehicle, and record video evidence when limits are exceeded.
  • Violations include high-noise modifications, excessively loud audio or recording equipment, and unnecessary horn use.
  • Penalties reach Dh2,000 with 12 black points, and impounded vehicles can incur release fees up to Dh10,000.
  • Deployment will be phased and supported by patrols, public-awareness campaigns on noise risks, and oversight by the Steering Committee for Preserving the Civilised Appearance of Dubai.
