Dubai Police impound over 10,000 vehicles and bicycles in 2025 over traffic violations

Dubai Police impounded 10,539 vehicles and bicycles and issued 4,709 fines for crossing roads at undesignated locations in 2025.

It comes as part of intensified efforts to tackle dangerous road behaviour and improve traffic safety across the emirate.

The figures were reviewed by Lieutenant General Abdulla Khalifa Al Marri, Commander in Chief of Dubai Police, during his annual inspection of the General Department of Traffic, where he also examined the department’s operational performance, artificial intelligence applications, development projects and community feedback.

During the inspection, specialised traffic teams presented their enforcement results for 2025, which included the impoundment of 3,434 motor vehicles and 7,105 bicycles and electric bicycles.

The department also reviewed public complaints received through the Police Eye service, the 901 Contact Centre and the 04 platform. These included 750 reports concerning excessive vehicle noise and 926 complaints about reckless driving.

To address these concerns, Dubai Police established specialised field teams across six areas to monitor violations, intensify patrols and target locations where dangerous driving and disruptive behaviour occur repeatedly.
