Starting Tuesday, the speed limit on the Fujairah to Khorfakkan road in Sharjah will be reduced to 100kph, according to police in Fujairah. This change comes after the previous limit of 120kph. The Fujairah Police emphasized the importance of drivers adhering to the new speed limit, urging all road users to observe posted limits and follow traffic signs and instructions to maintain safety.
Umm Al Quwain ranks lower than Fujairah in terms of road safety among the seven emirates, based on analysis released last month by the Dubai-based Bin Yaber Driving Institute. The low ranking for Fujairah can be attributed to limited driver education, with only two driving schools available, as well as concerning statistics including above-average death rates and hit-and-run incidents.
Additionally, Fujairah has the highest average driving speed in the UAE, which may contribute to the lower safety ranking. In contrast, Sharjah was rated the top emirate for road safety, boasting the lowest death rate (1.78) and hit-and-run incident rate (5.33) per 100,000 residents. The average driving speed in Sharjah is also at the safer end of the spectrum, likely due to heavy traffic but also indicative of more cautious driving behavior.
