Fonte Oficial: Ministry of Interior / Roads and Transport Authority (RTA)
Última Atualização: 1 de fevereiro de 2026
Resumo
The UAE advances its smart mobility vision in 2026 with new autonomous vehicle regulations, expanded intelligent traffic camera systems, updated penalty structures for dangerous driving, and stricter vehicle inspection requirements.
Alterações Principais
Autonomous Vehicle Regulatory Framework
Em vigor a partir de 1 de janeiro de 2026
Testing permits only
Autonomous vehicles allowed only under limited testing permits in designated areas
Commercial AV framework
Comprehensive regulatory framework for autonomous vehicle operation including licensing, insurance requirements, and liability rules for Level 4 vehicles on approved routes
Fonte Oficial: RTA Dubai Smart Mobility
Dica do Instrutor
“Dubai aims to have 25% of all trips autonomous by 2030. The new framework allows Level 4 autonomous vehicles on approved routes. As a driver, you'll increasingly share roads with self-driving vehicles - understand their behavior and give them space.”
Next-Generation Intelligent Traffic Camera System
Em vigor a partir de 1 de março de 2026
Standard radar and cameras
Traditional speed radars and red-light cameras at fixed locations
AI-powered multi-violation cameras
New cameras detect multiple violations simultaneously: speeding, tailgating, lane discipline, seatbelt compliance, and mobile phone use using AI recognition
Fonte Oficial: Abu Dhabi Police
Dica do Instrutor
“The UAE's new AI cameras can detect multiple violations at once - speeding, not wearing a seatbelt, using your phone, tailgating, and improper lane changes. They work day and night. Always wear your seatbelt and put your phone away.”
Increased Tailgating and Reckless Driving Penalties
Em vigor a partir de 1 de janeiro de 2026
AED 400 fine, 4 black points
Tailgating carried a fine of AED 400 and 4 black points on license
AED 1,000 fine, 6 black points
Tailgating fines increased to AED 1,000 with 6 black points; reckless driving penalties doubled with possible vehicle impoundment for 30 days
Fonte Oficial: UAE Federal Traffic Law
Dica do Instrutor
“Tailgating penalties have been significantly increased. Keep at least a 2-second following distance (4 seconds in wet conditions). The new AI cameras actively detect tailgating, and fines are now AED 1,000 with 6 black points.”

Re: Stricter Vehicle Technical Inspection Requirements
Dica do Instrutor
“Vehicle inspections are more thorough now. They check ADAS systems, tire pressure monitors, and use digital brake testing. Keep your vehicle well-maintained - failing the inspection means you can't renew your registration.”
