The speed limit on Abu Dhabi-Al Ain Road has been reduced by the Abu Dhabi Police from 160kmph to 140kmph, it was announced on Wednesday. This maximum speed will apply from Al Sad Bridge to Al Amera Bridge in the direction of Al Ain City, according to the joint advisory by the police and Abu Dhabi's Integrated Transport Centre.
The changes will be implemented starting Monday, November 14, the authorities said. It is important to note that in the UAE Capital, there are no speed buffers in place. The police called on motorists to drive safely and always follow speed limits.
Studies have shown that slowing down on highways leads to significant improvements in road safety, the authorities added.
