Doha, Qatar: The General Directorate of Traffic at the Ministry of Interior (MoI) has intensified monitoring of wrong overtaking of vehicles by installing traffic cameras to ensure the safety of motorists and other road users.
“Overtaking from the right is wrong behaviour, some people do it without regard for the rights of others and it causes many traffic accidents,” MoI said on its X platform.
The Directorate said that a number of devices have been installed to monitor violations of overtaking from the right in a bid to ensure the enhancement of traffic safety.
It said that turning or overtaking without indicating to other road users is also a traffic violation that can lead to accidents. The Department asked motorists to give a signal before changing lanes for safety.
Seatbelt violations are enforced for both the driver and the front-seat passenger and are recorded by traffic patrols and surveillance cameras.
