Speed limits in the United Arab Emirates
The United Arab Emirates employs minimum and maximum speed limits, which vary for different types of vehicles and roads.[1] Heavy vehicles such as trucks, mini buses and buses are installed with speed limiters to prevent over-speeding.[2][3] The UAE is notable for having some of the highest posted speed limits in the world, with two major highways, the Abu Dhabi-Al Ain highway and the Sheikh Khalifa highway, both having limits of 160 km/h (99 mph).The general speed limit in Abu Dhabi is 140 km/h whereas in the Northern Emirates and Dubai Speed Limit is 120km/h.Every Emirate with the exception of Abu Dhabi also has a speed buffer, allowing motorists to drive 20 km/h above the posted speed limit without any fines.
