MOI warns drivers to strictly stick to lanes at intersections
How many times have you torn out your hair in frustration seeing drivers cut the lane and overtake you from the wrong side? If the answer is ‘many times,’ then you are not alone.
Taking it into consideration, Qatar’s Ministry of Interior (MoI) has warned motorists to strictly observe lane rules at intersections. Any violations that are captured on camera will be registered as a serious traffic offence, Gulf Times reports.
In a post on its Facebook page, MoI stressed that motorists should not change lanes at signals and stick to their path in order to avoid accidents.
Following lane rules is key to ensuring safe and smooth traffic flow and changing tracks at intersections constitutes risky road behaviour and a violation of traffic laws, it is observed.
The ministry has reiterated that cameras installed at intersections monitor such violations, which will then be recorded as traffic offences and the violator penalised in accordance with the relevant laws.
Those wishing to change lanes should use the appropriate indicator to signal their intention to other road users.
People who use mobile phones while at the wheel will be booked on the spot by traffic patrols and security personnel.
Be careful to avoid being sorry later.

Hope they do it irrespective of the nationality of violator.
Primu is perfectly right with the input .......... Give time to adjust for the lazy people like my dear boss ..........
but need to inform the people before implementing even though no one is excuse at the law

Got to agree with you WT
I think it's funny that a ministry has to "warn" people. Issue a law and implement it. Punish those who violate the law. What a ridiculous strategy!
I think this is how Rizks went bald
Yes, That's important, very important. Be smart when at the wheel .................
