Knowing the speed limit of each road is vital to guarantee that you are not driving too quickly or too slowly, whether you are on a freeway, main road, or a one-way drive in your neighborhood. Your safety and the safety of other road users are guaranteed when you stay below the speed limit.
The Dubai Police maintains an accessible database of the speed restrictions of the city’s main highways on its website, dubaipolice.gov.ae. Although the listed speed limits range from 60 kph to 120 kph, it is crucial to remember that these are key roads in the Emirate and as such have a higher speed restriction. Internal roads near neighborhoods and schools frequently have a lower speed limit of 40 kmph.
What is the list?
Basic information about the main roads in Dubai is supplied in the list published by Dubai Police, including the street or road name, the speed limit, the “radar control,” and the number of lanes.
Why is road speed different from radar control?
The moment at which you will be caught on the radar for exceeding the speed restriction is referred to as radar control. The grace speed limit for drivers in Dubai is typically 20 kmph after which they face penalties for speeding. You have a buffer of 20 kmph, for instance, if the posted speed limit is 80 kmph. Therefore, if you are traveling at 90 kph, you will not receive a speeding ticket. However, as soon as you cross a radar at 101 kph, your vehicle will be captured on camera.Â

Fine for speeding
Since radars are used to monitor most roadways, drivers who exceed the speed limit are ticketed by the radar’s camera. Depending on how much over the speed limit you were caught driving, a fine and penalty may be imposed.
