The Traffic Highlights handbook, which has been translated into English, contains valuable legal information for all segments of society participating in the exhibition. The handbook also contained traffic advice that is derived from federal law and regulations on traffic, as well as highlighting the ministerial decisions issued thereunder. It also mentioned some of the violations and petty offences committed by some as a result of their ignorance of the laws enforced in the State; there is also reference to some traffic offences with penalties established by the law for such crimes.
For his part, the Law Respect Culture Office at the Ministry of Interior commended the efforts of the organizers of the Exhibition and their integral role in conveying the bright cultural image of UAE.

It is noteworthy that the Law Respect Culture Office is one of the police agencies that deal with social responsibility; it is keen to assume its effective role in the development of patriotism and loyalty to the homeland. The office works together with other stakeholders to form a single national unit offsetting any unawareness of state laws, regulations, customs, and traditions that make up society.
Finally, the significance of the Ministry of Interior’s participation is evidenced through its direct contact with the community to raise awareness among its members, define the role assumed by the various police forces in achieving security and stability, and acquaint them with the services offered to the public.
