Dubai radar limits explained: Complete list of road speed limits and radar control speeds
Check the posted limits and radar-control speeds on Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Khail Road and other major routes, as well as the fines for speeding
Dubai: Driving around Dubai? Whether you’re an experienced driver or have just received your driving licence, it is important to know not just the speed limits of the roads, but also the grace limit beyond which a radar records a violation.
Dubai Police provides a comprehensive list of road speed limits that motorists need to comply with when driving around the emirate, as well as the ‘radar-control’ speed, which is the maximum speed limit beyond which you will be fined for speeding.
The road speed is the legal limit displayed on traffic signs, while the radar-control indicates the speed at which a camera is set to register a speeding violation. Where more than one limit is listed, different limits apply to different sections of the road.
