A crumpled Mercedes was on display at AUB's Sea Gate parking area early in the month of May in recognition of Arabic Traffic Week. The week is a traditional event that takes place throughout the Arab world, in which awareness campaigns concerning traffic and driving issues such as speeding and security are held. Arab media publicize the week a lot, and some countries even issue stamps under the theme of the week. Lebanon joined the campaign for the first time this year with the supervision of the Ministry of the Interior and the YASA non-governmental organization. Real models of smashed cars were displayed in many universities and public areas such as the airport.
