UAE Traffic Fines List
Search the complete UAE traffic fines list for 2026 — every speeding, parking, red-light and safety violation with its official fine in AED, black points and impound period, in one searchable finder. This unofficial guide is built from the UAE's published traffic-fine schedules (see Sources below), and links you to the official portals where you can check your own fines.

Figures follow the published fine schedule (Ministerial Resolution No. 178 of 2017). "Decided by court" means the amount is set by a judge, not a fixed fine.
Dubai Traffic Fines
Dubai follows the federal fine schedule, with one important local difference: a 20 km/h radar buffer. Speed cameras in Dubai trigger at the posted limit plus 21 km/h — but the fine is calculated from the posted limit, not the trigger speed. So at 81 km/h in a 60 zone you are fined for exceeding the limit by 21–30 km/h (AED 600). Dubai also applies its own impound-release fees under Dubai Decree No. 30 of 2023 — up to AED 50,000 for serious offences like red-light jumping or dangerous driving. Use the finder above and search "speeding" to see every band.
Abu Dhabi Traffic Fines
Abu Dhabi uses the same federal schedule but enforces a strict zero-tolerance policy on speed: radars trigger at just 1 km/h over the posted limit, a rule in force since August 2018. There is no buffer to rely on, so the AED 300 band for "up to 20 km/h over" applies from the very first kilometre. Abu Dhabi Police also administers the Traffic Points Programme that governs black-point suspensions across the emirate — see the black points section below.
Sharjah Traffic Fines
Sharjah applies the federal schedule with a 20 km/h speed buffer like Dubai. Sharjah has also run periodic fine-discount campaigns in the past — these are announced by the authorities and change over time, so check the official portals for any current campaign before paying. Parking and minor violations in Sharjah follow the same published amounts shown in the finder above.
UAE Black Points System
Black points are penalty points recorded against your driving licence for serious violations — the more dangerous the offence, the more points, up to 24 points within a rolling 12-month period. Points expire 12 months after the violation date. Reaching 24 points for the first time means your licence is suspended for 3 months — or you can pay AED 2,400 and complete a one-day rehabilitation course under the Traffic Points Programme. A second 24-point accumulation within a year brings a 6-month suspension plus the course; a third brings a 1-year suspension with mandatory retraining and a re-test at an authorised driving school. Drivers holding 8–23 points may take a voluntary AED 800 course to deduct 8 points. If someone else was driving your car, points may be transferable to the actual driver — confirm the current procedure with the police or RTA.
How to Check Your Traffic Fines in the UAE
This page lists the official fine amounts — it cannot show your personal fines, and it never asks for your plate number or licence details. To check fines registered against your vehicle or licence, use only the official portals, each of which offers a fines-inquiry service on its website or app:
- RTA (official) — fines inquiry for Dubai-registered vehicles
- Dubai Police (official) — traffic fines inquiry
- MOI (official) — federal fines portal and app
- Emirates Vehicle Gate (official) — fines across emirates
- TAMM Abu Dhabi (official) — Abu Dhabi government services
Beware of unofficial "fine check" websites that ask for your documents — always use the official channels above.
