Litter lout motorists caught on camera dumping cigarette butts, food parcels and drink cans from stationary or moving vehicles could soon face fines of BD300, under a new proposal put forward by municipal leaders in a bid to clamp down on littering on Bahrain’s roads.
The joint proposal, submitted by Southern Municipal Council chairman Abdulla Abdullatif and Muharraq Municipal Council chairman Abdulaziz Al Naar, calls for the violations to be added to the executive bylaws of the 2014 Traffic Law, while incorporating provisions from the 2019 Cleanliness Law.
The initiative comes as Bahrain prepares to roll out hi-tech traffic cameras across the country, enabling authorities to more effectively detect and record non-traditional violations such as littering, unsafe loading and improper lane discipline.
