I am so glad this is raised. i suffer every morning from people who don’t drive well and traffic officers not doing anything about it. Yellow box is an example, worst is when you are stuck in a lane for hours and someone drives in the wrong lane and just cuts you at the front of the line when its your turn. some people just think they own the road, the world and everything …

Implementing the fines by applying the law universally!

The other bonus of course is that they will generate so much cash that they can invest back into the country’s depleting coffers.

Education would help. What would the best media channel be for the traffic department to show people the benefit of compliance with traffic laws and to educate road users of the benefits of things like yellow box junctions? ;^)

They’re not interested. Their main job doesn’t appear to be concerned with traffic as much as it is to clear the roads for the occasional dignitary pass.

I normally calmly get out and go to the honking dickhead asking him politely what he wanted. Much fun!

I stop at box junctions if my exit isn’t clear – and the motorists behind me give me hell, honking and honking. Stupid of them.

2 Things: police should be recording every single car in that yellow box and issue 50BD fines, and notify them by the end of the day by sms of what they have done.

secondly, I highly encourage privatizing the traffic police force. Get some people with brains and build GIS systems that we are actually proud of, which can check traffic levels in every heavily used junction in Bahrain.. willing to pay 20BD a month as a subscription just to have one!! the traffic levels in the city these days are getting ridiculous ..

Actually, here is a little known fact about the Traffic Directorate. There is a traffic museum there – nobody knows about it but they have bahrain’s first traffic light and stuff like that.
