The Consumer Protection Authority, represented by the Directorates of Consumer Protection in North Al Batinah and South Al Batinah, participated in the activities of the Unified Gulf Traffic Week 2026, organized by the Royal Oman Police under the slogan "Cross Safely", with the aim of enhancing traffic awareness and consolidating safety concepts among road users. The event is held during the period from 3 May 2026 to 7 May 2026, within the framework of strengthening institutional integration and promoting traffic safety concepts among consumers.
The Authority’s participation was through specialized awareness booths on traffic safety, focusing on the risks associated with the use of used tires, and raising awareness of Decision No. (257/2015) concerning the prohibition of the sale and circulation of used tires, given its direct impact on reducing traffic accidents and minimizing human and material losses. The booth also included the display of samples of genuine and counterfeit spare parts for vehicle brake pads, with clarification of the impact of non-compliant parts on vehicle safety and road users, in addition to the distribution of a number of awareness and guidance publications related to tire safety, vehicle recalls, vehicle oils, and other educational materials for exhibition visitors.
It is worth noting that this participation comes as part of the Authority’s efforts to raise the level of consumer awareness and promote a culture of traffic safety, in a manner that achieves integration with the competent authorities and contributes to establishing a safe environment for road users, in line with the objectives of Oman Vision 2040 in building an aware society that enjoys the highest standards of safety and quality of life.
