Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and Dubai Police General HQ have increased the speed limit on Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street between Dubai-Al Ain Road and Al Yalayes Road from 90 to 100kmh.
The existing speed limit signs advertised on the road will be changed to the new speed limits signs of 100kmh. Dubai allows motorists a buffer to drive at up to 20kmh above the advertised limits. Last year the UAE government removed speed buffers on Abu Dhabi roads.
Major General Mohammed Saif Al Zafeen, Assistant Commander-in-Chief for Operations, Dubai Police, said, “Measures will be taken to adjust the speed cameras and set them at 120 km/h for the safety of road users. RTA and Dubai Police are engaged in continuous consultation and coordination including examining the current speed limits on some roads that need to be adjusted, and taking appropriate decisions in line with the vision of Dubai Government aimed at enhancing the traffic safety on Dubai roads.”
