The
UAE police have devised an innovative idea to prevent motorists from speeding
on highways.
To
deter the motorists from going over the speed limit, the police has put up a
full-size cutout of a patrol car on one of the highways, complete with flashing
lights.
Videos
uploaded on Facebook show the car in a red and white colour scheme, with the
number 999 painted on the side.The cutout, 'parked' on the side of the highway,
is supported by a black metal frame.
The
maximum speed limit on a UAE highway is 120km/hr, on the Sheikh Mohammed bin
Zayed Road, but motorists usually touch 140km/hr and above between radars.
Countries
such as US, Australia and New Zealand are known to use cutouts of policemen at
traffic junctions and public places to keep people from flouting rules, but a
cutout car is surely a first.
