FUJAIRAH // There were 68 accidents in the past seven months on one road in the emirate, but none of them led to death or serious injuries, Fujairah Police said today.
The accidents happened on Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Road in Fujairah between December of last year and June of this year, according to a statistics report from police.
Only three mild injuries were reported on the road in that time span, and 95 per cent of the accidents involved motorists who crashed into concrete blocks or bumped into other cars, said Col Mohammed bin Nayea, Deputy Chief of Fujairah Police.
Police plan to hire a well-known company to instal vital road signs in order to ensure more safety on Khalifa bin Zayed Road, Col bin Nayea said.
Traffic signs will include many non-traffic-related indicators that warn motorists about mountainous areas during the rainy season, as well as landslides.
Police recently conducted a survey among road users to determine what they thought the optimum speed limit should be. Results showed that the speed limit for the 14-kilometre stretch of road should be 140 kilometres per hour, rather than the 120 kph limit that has been observed since the road was opened.

Generational responses to the pandemic
Devesh Mamtani from Century Financial believes the cash-hoarding tendency of each generation is influenced by what stage of the employment cycle they are in. He offers the following insights:
Baby boomers (those born before 1964): Owing to market uncertainty and the need to survive amid competition, many in this generation are looking for options to hoard more cash and increase their overall savings/investments towards risk-free assets.
Generation X (born between 1965 and 1980): Gen X is currently in its prime working years. With their personal and family finances taking a hit, Generation X is looking at multiple options, including taking out short-term loan facilities with competitive interest rates instead of dipping into their savings account.
Millennials (born between 1981 and 1996): This market situation is giving them a valuable lesson about investing early. Many millennials who had previously not saved or invested are looking to start doing so now.
Electoral College Victory
Trump has so far secured 295 Electoral College votes, according to the Associated Press, exceeding the 270 needed to win. Only Nevada and Arizona remain to be called, and both swing states are leaning Republican. Trump swept all five remaining swing states, North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, sealing his path to victory and giving him a strong mandate.
Popular Vote Tally
The count is ongoing, but Trump currently leads with nearly 51 per cent of the popular vote to Harris’s 47.6 per cent. Trump has over 72.2 million votes, while Harris trails with approximately 67.4 million.
