Over the first ten months of 2026, Abu Dhabi Police have taken a firm stance against road violations, seizing 1,596 vehicles for illegal engine and chassis modifications. These enforcement efforts, led by the Traffic Department and Security Patrols, specifically target vehicles fitted with unauthorized exhaust systems that generate excessive noise, which authorities say significantly disrupts the peace of residential neighborhoods and negatively impacts the quality of life for local residents.

Law enforcement officials have emphasized that such modifications are a direct breach of traffic regulations and will continue to face strict legal consequences. Drivers are strongly encouraged to adhere to official technical standards rather than opting for performance enhancements that jeopardize safety or create public disturbances. Moving forward, the Abu Dhabi Police have committed to maintaining a consistent presence on the roads to curb noise pollution and ensure a safer, quieter environment for all commuters.
