The Saudi Traffic Authority has issued a warning to drivers as the new academic year begins, urging them to refrain from loud vehicle noise near schools.

In an official statement on their X account, they explained that driving at high speeds and generating loud tire noises constitute a traffic violation.
Drivers are cautioned to drive cautiously, particularly around school zones. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in fines ranging from 150 to 300 riyals (SAR).
