The UAE Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure has launched the Salamah 365, a transformational project that aims to enhance public road safety. The project will focus on fixing identified accident-prone areas, implementing locally tailored models of pedestrian crossings, monitoring dams and valleys to predict floods, and establishing a safe, smart school model for students. Sixteen dams and nine main valleys will be monitored as part of the pilot phase of the project. “The UAE is a pioneer in adopting ambitious initiatives and projects and issuing regulations that ensure our dams, roads, and buildings are state of the art. Salamah 365 will enhance traffic safety levels by considerably reducing the number of road fatalities and traffic accidents, enhancing the country’s performance in related global indexes,” said Suhail bin Mohammed Al Mazrouei, Minister of Energy and Infrastructure. Al Mazrouei added that the ministry is eager to collaborate with stakeholders to ensure the safety of the infrastructure, roads, and dams. Hassan Mohammed Al Mansouri, Undersecretary for Infrastructure and Transport Affairs at the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, emphasised that the project will enhance the quality of life and safety of road users and school students.
