Despite good quality roads and modern transport infrastructure, Arabian Gulf countries suffer from high road mortality rate compared to developed countries. Road traffic injury is the leading cause of death among children and other vulnerable road users in United Arab Emirates. Safe urban mobility is very critical to Dubai’s continued economic growth and future development. However, diverse socio-economic and safety culture background of Dubai’s immigrant population makes traffic safety improvement quite challenging. An online survey was developed to study tram driver opinions and perceptions related to road user behavior, tram safety challenges and suggestions for improvement. The survey findings suggest developing a positive traffic safety culture in the city to reduce serious injuries and crashes involving trams. The road safety campaign should target new drivers/tourists not familiar with tram traffic rules. Driver training program to be enhanced for reducing tram road traffic incidents.
