Important updates to the KAUST Road Safety Code

We have made some important updates to the KAUST Road Safety Code to help keep our roads safe for everyone on campus, including:

  • Traffic Violations Penalty Points System: a new system, which introduces a tiered structure for managing infractions and aligns with national guidelines, is now used.
  • E-Scooter Training: Starting January 1, 2026, riders under 16 (Hijri) must complete an online HSE road safety course.
  • KAUST Driving Permits: Residents aged 17 (Hijri) without a KSA license can now apply for a golf cart permit.

These updates were developed in collaboration with departments across KAUST to support a safer community. Please review the full Road Safety Code.

Thanks for Keeping KAUST Safe!
