Have you spotted these bus cams in Dubai?
CCTV cameras installed on buildings, traffic lights and on public transport is not enough to keep errant motorists at bay.
Authorities in the emirates have taken the level of security one step further by installing CCTV cameras on school buses, to ensure that motorists come to a halt when school bus drivers pull out the stop sign.
A photo recently circulated on social networking sites in the UAE shows a camera installed on the side of a school bus, which can capture drivers that fail to stop at least five metres behind the school bus when the signal is open.
Brig Ahmad Al Shehhi, deputy director of Traffic and Patrols Department of the Central Operations Section at Abu Dhabi Police, said: “Motorists should bring their vehicles to a complete halt when they see a school bus stop sign within a distance of not less than five metres, in order to ensure the safety of students.”
