Major Dubai road changes speed limit

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) along with Dubai Police General HQ  took to social media to announce a change in the speed limit along Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street.

Motorists who are passing through the said road can now drive at a slightly increased speed after the limit has been raised from 90 to 100 kmph.

The change in the speed limit will be effective starting today, March 17.

“Increasing the speed limit on Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan street from 90 to 100 km/hour starting from the 17th of March 2019,” RTA wrote on Twitter.

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.
