Kuwait's Strict Vehicle Decoration Rules for National Day
As Kuwait gears up for its National and Liberation Day celebrations, the General Traffic Department has issued strict guidelines to ensure safety and smooth traffic flow during the holidays. These measures are designed to keep the festivities fun while prioritizing road safety.
What You Can and Can’t Do When Decorating Your Vehicle
To help avoid accidents and traffic disruptions, there are a few key rules to follow when decorating your car for the holiday:
-
No Tinting or Stickers on Windshields
Motorists are prohibited from tinting or adding stickers to the front or rear windshields. These alterations can obstruct visibility, making driving more dangerous. -
Vehicle Color and Appearance Restrictions
Covering the original color of your vehicle with stickers, wraps, or any other materials is not allowed. Keeping the original appearance of your car ensures that authorities can identify it easily in case of any issues. -
License Plates Must Be Visible
Front and rear license plates should remain uncovered and fully visible at all times. This is crucial for identification and to avoid any trouble with traffic regulations. -
No Flags or Masts Outside the Vehicle
Installing flags or masts on the outside of your car is prohibited. These items can be dangerous if they become loose or detach while driving, creating risks for both pedestrians and other motorists.
Why These Guidelines Matter
The General Traffic Department's main goal is to ensure that the holiday celebrations don’t compromise road safety or disrupt traffic. By following these simple rules, you help create a safer environment for everyone on the road. Authorities have also made it clear that non-compliance could lead to fines or legal consequences.
Stay Safe and Celebrate Responsibly
As Kuwait celebrates its National and Liberation Day, the Traffic Affairs and Operations Sector urges all citizens and residents to adhere to these guidelines. Let’s enjoy the holidays responsibly, with safety in mind, ensuring that our celebrations don’t impact the smooth flow of traffic.
By sticking to these rules, we can all have fun while keeping the streets safe and clear for everyone.
