Dubai police have recorded 7,735 enforcement actions during a campaign targeting excessive exhaust sound and unauthorized changes to vehicles. The total was divided into 2,045 cases involving noise and 5,690 offenses tied to modifications.
The campaign highlights how traffic enforcement can address both audible nuisance and vehicle alterations. Consequences available to authorities include monetary penalties, black points and impoundment of the vehicle.
The crackdown could affect drivers who modify vehicles, as well as residents and visitors bothered by loud exhausts. Stricter enforcement may make car owners more cautious about modifications and could reduce noise in some areas. It may also raise awareness of penalties such as fines, black points and impoundment, though the wider social impact would depend on how consistently the rules are applied.
