Abu Dhabi E311 speed limit is now 100km/h - what happens if you drive at 101km/h?
Dubai: Abu Dhabi motorists using a major stretch of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Street (E311) now face a lower speed limit . The speed limit on a major stretch of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Street (E311) has been reduced from 120km/h to 100km/h in both directions, with the change taking effect from today.

Motorists traversing Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Street (E311) have encountered a new speed limit of 100km/h, effective immediately. This reduction from the previous 120km/h limit applies in both directions along a critical segment of the highway connecting Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Should you traverse this stretch at 101km/h, you are unequivocally in violation of the posted speed limit.
Abu Dhabi operates on a zero-tolerance approach, meaning the speed limit sign is the definitive legal marker. Radar cameras deployed across the city can promptly capture vehicles exceeding the legal speed, and fines for such infractions range from Dh300 to Dh3,000, contingent on the degree of speed transgression. It's crucial to note that this zero-tolerance policy starkly contrasts with Dubai's approach, where radar systems may employ a "grace-speed buffer," potentially allowing for slight overages depending on the road.
For Abu Dhabi motorists, the E311 speed limit now enforced is unequivocally 100km/h throughout the affected stretch.
