Dubai’s Roads & Transport Authority and the city’s police say they will use traffic solutions to secure the movement of participants and visitors for the Dubai World Expo 2020.

The announcement came following a meeting on a five-year plan aimed at improving road safety and public transport, where they also discussed improving traffic safety in school districts and raising awareness through programmes for the academic year 2019-2020.

As part of the meeting, the participants considered introducing training on the Dubai Police app to document and generate traffic reports of minor traffic incidents.
