New speed limits take effect on Dubai's main thoroughfares

The authorities remind that from today a new high-speed regime on the 311 and 611 highways of Dubai comes into force.

Motorists are reminded that speed limits on the two main roads of Dubai - Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road (311) and Emirates Road (611) - are reduced to 110 km / h, starting from October 15.

Fines threaten motorists who exceed speeds of 130 km / h.

Plans to change the speed limit were announced earlier this year after a series of traffic accidents over the past few years. The Office of Roads and Transport and the Dubai Police have decided to increase the safety of road users.
