Overview
- Abu Dhabi Mobility announced Friday that the maximum speed on a defined stretch of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Street (E311) will fall from 120km/h to 100km/h, effective Monday, September 14.
- The reduction applies in both directions between the At Turoush/Tawi Al Qaymah junctions and the Al Khayr Street interchange, with Baniyas Cemetery cited as a landmark on the route toward Dubai.
- The authority enforces radars that activate at 1km/h over the limit and fines for typical violations run from Dh300 to Dh3,000 while extreme speeding can mean 23 black points, 60 days of vehicle impoundment and release fees up to Dh50,000.
- The Integrated Transport Centre has scheduled a temporary two-left-lane closure on E11 during an overnight window to manage traffic as the new limits take effect.
- The E311 change continues a calibrated series of interventions since April 2025, including lifting minimum speeds and earlier cuts in February 2026, aimed at reducing collisions and improving heavy-vehicle and inter-emirate traffic flow.
