Rta announces two new speed limit changes in dubai

New traffic signs and road markings are already reflecting these changes in the city

 

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced changes to speed limits on two major roads, effective 30 September.

In coordination with Dubai Police, the adjustments will affect Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street and Al Amardi Street.

Motorists cruising along Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street will now be able to drive at a maximum of 100 km/h between Dubai-Al Ain Road and the Academic City Roundabout.

However, the speed limit will drop slightly to 90 km/h between the Academic City Roundabout and Al Khawaneej Street.

Meanwhile, Al Amardi Street will see a uniform speed limit of 90 km/h between Al Khawaneej Street and Emirates Road.

RTA has stated that new traffic signs and road markings reflecting these changes will soon be installed, ensuring drivers are aware of the updated rules.

These revisions are part of RTA’s ongoing efforts to standardise speed limits across Dubai’s road network, enhancing traffic flow and safety.

Keep an eye out for the new signs, and remember to adjust your speed accordingly!
