This polygon shapefile represents the number of road accidents by type in each of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates for 2002. The type of accidents include run overs, collisions, break downs (تدهور, literally deterioration), and other. The original dataset was collected by the UAE government and hosted on Bayanat.ae. It was joined to the UAE administrative district level 1 boundaries from the Global Administrative Areas database by Taylor Hixson in 2018. This dataset is only to be used for academic purposes.
