Colonel Khamis Ishaq Mohammad, Deputy Director of Traffic and Patrols at ADP said "Implementation of the new system of timing is not restricted to certain duration. Extension of working hours and the increase in staff number at the Fines payment Branches is with a view to enable customers to finalize their transactions easily and to curb the rush witnessed by the Department during the past two days".

The total number of transactions processed yesterday, Tuesday was 3969 in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Mussafah and the Western Region during morning and evening working hours.
