(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched the Deaf Driver initiative to sensitise road users to deaf drivers, and alert motorists to vehicles driven by people with hearing disabilities.
In a statement made in a ceremony marking the launch of the initiative, Maitha bin Udai, CEO of RTA Traffic and Roads Agency, reiterated RTA's keenness on delivering an educative message to all spectrums of the community.
"The objective of the Deaf Driver initiative is to educate drivers on how to deal with hearing impaired persons and alert them that the driver infront is deaf. We have therefore embarked on compiling a brochure to elucidate how to deal with people suffering hearing loss, and designing a poster to be affixed to vehicles driven by individuals with hearing disability.
Readers of this poster will be aware that the driver is deaf and will not respond to alarm sounds made by other motorists.
