The announcement for the 50% traffic fine discount was made by Sharjah Executive Council on Tuesday, March 31, 2020. Authorities have urged motorists to avail the 50% discount offer to get rid of their pending traffic fines easily.
Official Statement
The Sharjah Executive Council has announced a major initiative for motorists on a tight budget. Motorists will now be able to avail 50% discount on their traffic fines for traffic violations committed before March 31, 2020. This offer will remain valid for three months.
Major General Saif Al Zari Al Shamsi advised motorists to benefit from the new decision and settle the payment of their pending traffic fines.

How to Pay Traffic Fines During the COVID-19 Pandemic?

Motorists can check and pay their traffic fines online using their credit cards to get rid of their pending fines easily.
Motorists can use the e-services to check and pay their traffic fines through the following platforms:
- Emirates Vehicle Gate Website
- Sharjah Police Website
- Ministry of Interior Website
Paying traffic fines has become easier than ever before, thanks to the digitalization of the traffic-related services. Motorists can easily check their outstanding fines and pay through their credit cards in just a few minutes.
Bottom-line
It is an ideal opportunity for motorists to get rid of their pending traffic fines, black points and vehicle confiscation penalties. Authorities in Sharjah have announced several initiatives for businesses and people in the emirate and one of these initiatives is the 50% discount offer on traffic fines.
Fines for traffic violations were increased significantly three years ago when the Federal Traffic Law was amended to improve the road safety situation. The amendments made to the traffic law have helped improve the road safety situation in Sharjah and across the UAE over the last few years. However, the hefty fines for traffic violations have increased financial worries for motorists on a tight budget. With the 50% discount offer, motorists can get rid of their pending fines easily and can also get their black points and vehicle impoundment penalties removed. The discount for traffic fines will remain valid for three months in Sharjah.
