What are RTA Dubai Traffic Fines?

Under Dubai traffic regulations, traffic fines are penalties that end up being charged for violations of the UAE traffic law. While they are often referred to as “RTA fines”, various offences may include RTA, Dubai Police and other competent authorities.
Motorists are now able to view and pay their vehicle fines from Dubai and other emirates using RTA's service. This service will be available via the RTA website and on approved digital channels.

RTA Dubai Traffic Fines List 2026

This table summarizes some of the more frequently observed and significant traffic offenses and the penalties listed. Vehicle retention is also an element of some serious offences.

Important Speeding Fines

The fines for speeding increase considerably as the speed limit is exceeded. For instance, a fine of AED 2,000 and 12 black points will be issued for exceeding the limit by more than 60 km/h, while AED 3,000 and 23 black points will be issued for exceeding by more than 80 km/h.
Therefore, it's crucial to verify the specific recorded violation and not take it for granted that all speeding tickets are the same.

What are Black Points in Dubai?

Black points are added to a driver's traffic record for certain violations. They are in addition to the monetary fine.
A violation can lead to both:

Fine + Black points

For instance, if you use a mobile phone whilst driving, it comes with a fine of AED 800 and 4 black points, whereas a red light crossing has a fine of AED 1,000 and 12 black points.
Black-point penalties can be much more severe for serious offences. Taking a vehicle without permission to carry passengers, for instance, is listed with 24 black points.

Dubai Traffic Fines and Vehicle Impoundment

For certain offences, the car may be impounded as well as be fined and receive black points.
These are serious speeding offences, failing to stop at a red light, and some dangerous driving offences. Different retention periods are outlined in the published traffic schedule, depending on the offence.
This does not mean that drivers should only consider the fine; they should consider the complete violation details.

What If Someone Else Was Driving Your Car?

A violation can be issued to the vehicle owner even if someone else was driving the vehicle.
RTA has a process in place for establishing the identity of the driver in the case of fines with black points. The driver might be notified and fill out the declaration with the appropriate traffic code.
This can be especially important for families or for company vehicles and cars that are shared by multiple drivers.

Can You Dispute a Dubai Traffic Fine?

A dispute depends on the type of fine and the authority that issued it.
The RTA dispute process is available for some illegally transported fines. Supporting documents include the fine number, Emirates ID, vehicle ownership documents, or payment receipt (if applicable).
In other cases of traffic offences, every driver is entitled to follow the procedure of the authority that issued the traffic fine to resolve the dispute or objection.
