Why the Change?

The adjustments come as part of ongoing developments along these roads. Both Al Amardi and Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Streets have seen significant upgrades, including:

Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street, in particular, has undergone several development projects, such as the construction of an overpass at Dubai Al Ain Road. The RTA plans to complete all overpasses along this street by 2030, allowing for the 100 km/h speed limit to be implemented throughout.

In conclusion, these speed limit increases on Al Amardi and Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Streets reflect Dubai's commitment to modernizing its infrastructure. So, mark your calendars for September 30, and enjoy the faster, safer roads! Drive safely!
