Safety has always been a top priority for Dubai\u2019s Road and Transport Authority (RTA). Their safety initiatives include updating speed limits for busy roads based on data collected through various sources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most recent update on the speed limit in Dubai is announced for a particular sector of Al Ittihad Road. The change is expected to ease the traffic flow on this significant route connecting Sharjah and Dubai. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

RTA Announced New Speed Limit on Al Ittihad Road <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

RTA Dubai<\/a> has reduced the speed limit on a sector of Al Ittihad Road between Sharjah and Al Garhoud Bridge. After the revised speed limit, the maximum speed is 80 km\/h instead of 100 km\/h. The new speed limit will be effective from November 20, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The traffic signs with the new speed limit will be upgraded along the road. Red markings will also be painted on that section of the road to highlight the reduced speed area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

RTA and Dubai Police – Making Roads Safer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

RTA follows the guidelines of the Speed Management Manual and the latest international practices to set optimal speed limits. RTA also collaborates with Dubai Police to gather data essential for these decisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the latest cars are equipped with modern safety features<\/a>, accidents at higher speeds can still prove critical. The new limit on Al Ittihad Road was set after studying the number of intersections, entry and exit points, recent developments, and accident ratios. Conclusively, the aim is to reduce the number of accidents and the impact of collisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From November 20th<\/sup>, driving above 80 km\/h on Al Ittehad Road will be a traffic violation that may lead to heavy fines and black points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What is the maximum speed limit in Dubai?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The speed limit is different for different roads in Dubai. Generally, it is between 80 km\/h to 100 km\/h inside city limits. For more information, read our blog on UAE speed limits<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much above the speed limit can I drive in Dubai?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The maximum speed limit buffer is 20 km\/h. For instance, if the maximum speed is 80 km\/h, you can drive up to 100 km\/h. Crossing the buffer will result in fines and penalties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much is the overspeeding fine in Dubai?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Overspeeding fines in Dubai depend on various factors. Generally, there is a fine of AED 6,000 for overspeeding in the Emirate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was all about RTA’s new speed limit between Sharjah and Al Garhoud Bridge on Al Ittihad Road. The speed limits are set to reduce accident ratios and lower the impact of a collision in case of an accident. Aside from these measures, modern car safety features are also significant. That said, when buying new or used cars for sale in Dubai<\/a>, make sure all the safety features are in working condition.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
