Drivers in Abu Dhabi will have to take note of new speed limits being introduced as part of the Emirate’s aim to improve road safety.<\/p>\n

At present there is a 20kph speed ‘buffer’ in place on many UAE roads.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This means that a driver has a 20kph grace period\u00a0before they would be fined. For example if the speed limit is 80kph they may drive at a speed up to 100kph before a speed camera would be alerted at 101kph.<\/p>\n

Abu Dhabi is now seeking to remove this speed buffer<\/h3>\n

In an attempt to remove any confusion surrounding speed limits the Emirate is introducing strict speed limits which must be adhered to, with no chance to exceed these limits without a fine.<\/p>\n

According to The National<\/a> new signs covered in plastic\u00a0have been spotted on some Abu Dhabi\u00a0roads ahead of the new changes.<\/p>\n

New road signs will show drivers the speed limit and if a driver is to exceed this by any amount, speed cameras will be activated and the driver fined by Abu Dhabi police.<\/p>\n

For example, if they new sign is 140kph then a speed of 141kph will incur a speeding fine.<\/p>\n

The new speed limits have already been introduced on some roads<\/h3>\n

The first road to have no buffer was unveiled last week on new motorway,\u00a0Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Road.<\/p>\n

The speed limit on this new road is 160kph with no buffer.<\/p>\n

Following this move the current speed limits on some roads may be changed, but there has been no confirmation on this yet.<\/p>\n

The move has been welcomed by road safety campaigners as an important step to improving road safety in the UAE.<\/p>\n

It is yet to be seen if other Emirates will follow Abu Dhabi’s example.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
