Smart car impoundment activated for this UAE area

Supplied

Motorists in central Sharjah whose cars have been impounded for traffic violations can now keep their vehicles at home.

Police say residents don’t have to keep their cars in police-designated yards during the impoundment period if they don't want to.

A small tracking device will be installed inside the car which alerts authorities if the vehicle has been moved.

The initiative is part of Sharjah's efforts to use technology in a bid to improve the quality of services that are offered to the public.
