Understanding the Sharjah Traffic Rules

In Sharjah, just like any other place in the UAE, following traffic rules is essential. This includes obeying traffic signals, maintaining proper driving conduct, and so on. The legal system imposes fines for breaking these rules, ranging from AED 100 to AED 7,000, depending on the violation. It’s important to stay updated on the fines and their amounts to avoid penalties.

Violations also add black points to your driving record — too many points can lead to a suspended licence. If you get a fine, paying it within 30 days may qualify you for a 50% discount on the traffic fine amount in Sharjah.

Sharjah Traffic Fines Discounts

As mentioned earlier, drivers can get a 35% Sharjah traffic fine discount on fines if they pay within 60 days of the violation, covering the fine and any impoundment costs. If paid between 60 days and 1 year after the violation, a 25% discount applies only to the fine, with impoundment fees needing to be paid in full.

Note - No Sharjah fine discounts are offered if the fines are paid more than a year after the violation.

Who is Eligible for a Sharjah Traffic Fine Discount?

To be eligible for the Sharjah Traffic Fine Discount, you must pay the penalty before the designated last date. However, some terms and conditions may apply —

You should pay the fine before the Sharjah fine discount last date.
