Overview
- The RTA announced on Wednesday that the new speed limits will take effect on November 1, 2026.
- Three streets will see higher limits: Al Asayel from 60 to 80 km/h, and Al Mustaqbal and Latifa bint Hamdan from 60 to 70 km/h.
- Two streets will have lower limits: Al Rebat from 100 to 90 km/h, and Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah from 80 to 70 km/h.
- The authority said the changes follow a months‑long engineering and technical study with an international consultant using factors such as traffic volumes, road design speeds and the 85th percentile of observed vehicle speeds.
- Implementation will involve replacing signs and reprogramming speed cameras in coordination with Dubai Police, and drivers should expect enforcement from the effective date.
