In a statement, the authorities explained that the camera will capture details of all vehicles that are within five metres of the device.

According to the UAE traffic laws, vehicles travelling on both directions must come to a complete halt when the school bus 'stop sign' is on.

If the bus driver fails to extend the stop sign, they will get an AED 500 fine and six traffic points.
