How to Avoid Fines in Dubai’s Bus Lanes: Key Guidelines
DUBAI – The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) of Dubai is reminding drivers to adhere to bus lane regulations to avoid hefty fines.
Certain areas and lanes in the city are designated exclusively for buses, taxis, and emergency vehicles. Violating these rules can lead to significant penalties.

Parking in areas reserved for public buses can result in fines of up to AED 200, while using the dedicated ‘bus only’ lanes, marked by a red strip and clear signage, incurs a fine of AED 600.
These lanes are monitored by radar to prevent private vehicles from using them to bypass traffic.
Currently, dedicated bus lanes are located on several major routes, including Naif Street and Al Ittihad Road.
The RTA plans to expand these lanes by introducing six new dedicated bus and taxi lanes, increasing the total length to 20 kilometers.
The initiative aims to enhance public transport efficiency and reduce travel times, encouraging the use of mass transportation in the city.
Emergency vehicles, including police cars and ambulances, are also permitted to use these lanes.
For more information on avoiding fines and adhering to bus lane regulations, residents are encouraged to stay informed about local traffic laws.
