Saudi Arabia records 11,819 residency, labour and border violations in one week

Saudi Arabia records 11,819 residency, labour and border violations in one week as authorities repatriate 9,992 people and warn of $267,000

The Saudi Traffic Department has stated that a valid residency permit is necessary to obtain a driving license in the Kingdom. Responding to a follower's inquiry on their official X account, the department clarified that an expired residency permit would prevent someone from acquiring a license. The General Directorate of Traffic emphasized the critical importance of adhering to road safety rules and regulations.

Drivers must comply with speed limits, maintain a safe distance from other vehicles, and yield the right of way when appropriate. They are also reminded to use turn signals when changing lanes or directions, stay focused and attentive, avoid distractions, and utilize hazard lights for sudden road changes. These safety measures are part of the ongoing awareness campaigns by the General Directorate of Traffic to promote public safety.

The department warns that using the road shoulder or designated turning lanes to overtake vehicles is strictly prohibited and considered a traffic violation.
