Maitha bin Adai, Chief Executive Officer of the Traffic and Roads Agency, RTA, said that the decision to increase the speed limit “has been taken after elaborate studies conforming to the Speed Management Manual in Dubai.”
“The current speed limits are being revised as part of traffic safety studies continuously commissioned by Traffic and Roads Agency on vital roads across the Emirate of Dubai. Lowering or increasing speed limits depends on the road condition and the surrounding environment, in coordination with the strategic partners,” she added.
