Why this UAE picture recipe for disaster

The Security Media Department has renewed its drive to strengthen the safety and security systems within the UAE.

As part of that effort, the department continues to share images and captions that depict realistic behaviours and events, highlighting both positive and negative behaviours that have been captured by the lenses of the Security Media Patrols.

In an effort to raise awareness and increase safety within society, the department has released this image to show what residents should not be doing.

Today's picture deals with jaywalking. "By not using footbridges and pedestrian crosses to cross the roads, people are exposing themselves to danger of being run over. They are risking their own safety as well as those of other road users,” the Security Media says in a press release issued to the media.
