Traffic fines in the Northern Emirates

Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah apply the same federal violations schedule as Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. The resolution behind that schedule states that it applies to violations committed anywhere in the territory of the State, and the fine, the point count and the impound period attached to each row are the same figures this site prints in its catalogue for every other emirate.

The layer that does vary between emirates is administrative and, by the decree-law’s own definitions, it varies the same way in all four: licensing and vehicle registration sit with the Licensing Authority in each emirate, and traffic control and patrols with the Ministry or the police commands. Four pages restating one federal table around four different authority names would be four thin pages, and this site would rather run one page that is honest about where the federal answer stops.

So this page carries the federal layer in full and points at the catalogue for every figure. Where you need to know which body issued a particular notice or how it is settled in your emirate, that authority’s own published terms are the source — this site did not read them and does not paraphrase them.

The amount. Each row of the annexed schedule carries its own figure, and a handful of rows carry no amount at all because the schedule refers the fine to a court — those read as court-determined on this site rather than as a blank or a zero, because that is the fact the row states.

The points. The resolution establishes a driver’s violations record with the Traffic Control Authority and assigns a point count per violation from the annexed table. It sets a cumulative limit and the window it is measured over, provides a reduction for passing a training course at an accredited institute before that limit is reached, and stages what happens each time the limit is reached. None of that changes between emirates, and all of it is set out on the black-points page.

The vehicle. Where a row attaches an impound period, the article provides the ways out of it and the ceiling on what buying days back can cost — with the unresolved question about what that ceiling covers stated wherever this site touches impound cost. A separate annex row prices the failure to collect a vehicle after the impound period has legally ended, which is a different rule that happens to share the same ceiling figure.
