Thousands of jaywalkers in Sharjah were fined last year in order to reduce the number of run-over accidents, Sharjah Police said on Sunday.
Lieutenant Suad Al Sheba, spokesperson for the Traffic and Patrol Department of Sharjah Police, told Gulf News that Sharjah Police fined 11,343 people who were caught jaywalking from the beginning of 2016 till February 8 this year and a total of 235 run-over accidents were recorded.
Jaywalking attracts a fine of Dh200.
The number of deaths due to pedestrians being hit by cars declined in 2016 compared with 2015, according to the statistics.
