Dubai’s effort to enhance student safety took a practical turn as more than 140 security guards from 35 schools completed a dedicated traffic safety training program. The Dubai Police-led initiative focused on managing school zone traffic during peak drop-off and pick-up times, responding to minor incidents, and reinforcing adherence to safety rules around school entrances and exits. The training aims to empower guards to create orderly, safer routes for students while assisting parents and drivers with clear directions.
Experts highlighted that well-trained guards can significantly reduce congestion and the risk of accidents in busy school zones. The program emphasizes proactive crowd management, safe pedestrian crossing practices, and effective communication with both pupils and guardians. By embedding these practices, schools hope to set a standard for traffic safety that other districts may adopt across the UAE.
Officials say continued collaboration with the police and school administrations is key to sustaining improvements in traffic conduct. As communities observe the positive impact of trained guards, the initiative could expand to additional schools and potentially influence broader Gulf region approaches to school-area traffic safety, reinforcing a culture of vigilance and student-centered safety.
