<\/p>\nSpeed limits can vary on Dubai roads, from 40km to 120km, with 20km increases in limits almost going on noticed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Many motorists are confused what part of the roads are under which speeding limits.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The help with this problem, the RTA are now going coloring the asphalt parts to mark when the speed limit changes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n“The experiment was carried out at a certain location on Oud Metha Street, near Bu Kadrah Interchange along the Dubai-Al Ain Street. The process involved colouring all lanes in an eye-catching style to alert road users of the new speed limit”.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is an experimental exercise\u00a0so far but could become commonplace.<\/h3>\n

\nAsphalt coloring would be implemented in phases at locations subject to speed change in other vital roads in #Dubai<\/a> in a gradual timeframe.<\/p>\n

The idea will next be implemented on Sheikh Zayed Road near the fifth interchange where the speed limit has been reduced from 120 kph to 100 kph<\/h3>\n
