Discounted fines can be paid at Ajman Poice service centres, Sahl smart kiosks, the Ministry of Interior app and the police app.

In November, Fujairah Police too announced a welcome 50 per cent discount on all traffic fines across the emirate to mark the 49th UAE National Day.

The scheme is slated to end today, on January 15, as originally announced.

The reduction will apply to traffic violations registered before December 1. It
