Abu Dhabi: UAE police has issued the revised list of fines for speed limit violations. The authority also announced a new speed limit on major road. Starting November 20, the speed limit on Sharjah via Al Ittihad Road will be reduced from 100kmph to 80kmph.
The authority urged all motorists to follow the new speed limit to avoid hefty fines that could go as high as Dh3,000. Drivers are urged to pay attention to new traffic signs that will be put up at the stretch where the regulation applies — from the Sharjah-Dubai border on Al Ittihad Road all the way to Al Garhoud Bridge.
