MOI: Motorists should be aware of road signs and markings
The Ministry of Interior (MoI) has once again taken to social media to remind motorists to strictly follow markings on the road and observe discipline to ensure everyone is safe while driving.
Road markings are an important traffic regulation mechanism in Qatar and can be found on roads, pavements and sidewalks.
MOI recently published a post on its Facebook page and Twitter feed encouraging motorists to follow road markings and signs.
Do you follow strictly road markings and keep lane discipline to ensure safety of all road users. #MoI_Qatar pic.twitter.com/o3tlAroGbo

The post advised motorists to be aware of these signs and markings and abide by them in order to maintain lane discipline and ensure the safety of road users.
Further, the post stressed that changing lanes without using a vehicle's indicators could cause accidents.
"Are you always attentive to road markings? What are the common mistakes motorists make in connection with road markings?" the MoI asked, inviting the public to share their thoughts on the matter.
Do you strictly follow markings and sign on Qatar's roads?
the main rule of driving in Qatar is to be a ware of cars around you, specially 4x4s, and expect the unexpected...
funny enough after a few years of driving here u begin to anticipate what they gonna do.
u see a car in your rear view mirror and you already know what on his mind and what he is going to do...
that becomes very helpful...
Many Road Users in Qatar are not aware that there is a gadget call "Indicator"
Another Horrible problem facing everyday....
You wait in the long queue to turn Right exit... some idiots sneak in last minute from the left "Dangerous"
No action for these people...
MOI should implement spot fine system....
Such wise advice .. Always look for the sign and what it means
The basics of being a good driver is to be aware of the road markings and the road conditions and obey the rules.
The problem here is that the Ministry shouldn't remind - it should take action and get the police to heavily fine erring motorists. This it seems to refuses to do ....
