Dubai speed limits change on five major roads from November 1

Motorists driving on five major roads in Dubai will need to pay closer attention to speed limits from November 1, as new limits come into effect and traffic cameras are reprogrammed accordingly. While three roads will see higher speed limits, two will have their limits reduced. Al Asayel Street increases from 60km/h to 80km/h, Al Mustaqbal Street from 60km/h to 70km/h, and Latifa bint Hamdan Street from 60km/h to 70km/h. Al Rebat Street decreases from 100km/h to 90km/h, and Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah Street from 80km/h to 70km/h. The changes apply to specified sections of these roads in both directions. RTA has confirmed that speed limit signs will be replaced and cameras reprogrammed to reflect the adjustments. Dubai Police distinguishes between the posted road speed limit and the radar control speed. On many major Dubai roads, the radar threshold is typically 20km/h above the posted speed limit.
