The UAE has just reached an impressive milestone, ranking among the top four countries in the world for traffic safety per 100,000 people. This recognition is a strong testament to the country’s commitment to ensuring the safety of its residents and visitors on the road.
This achievement was discussed during a meeting of the Ministry of Interior’s Happiness and Positivity Council, chaired by Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior. The Council reviewed various projects and initiatives aimed at improving government performance and the overall well-being of everyone in the UAE.

The Ministry’s efforts focus on enhancing security, road safety, and community awareness, all while working towards creating a safe, positive environment for everyone living here. This milestone in traffic safety is just one of many indicators of the UAE’s ongoing dedication to improving the quality of life for its residents.
For those living in the UAE, this news should offer reassurance that they are in one of the safest places in the world. Earlier this year, the country also ranked the second in the 2025 Global Safety Index, and its capital Abu Dhabi has been named the safest city in the world for the ninth year in a row. It’s no surprise that the UAE continues to set the bar for safety, offering peace of mind for everyone coming or living here.
