The maximum speed limit will be increased to 90 km/h between Academic City Roundabout and Al Khawaneej Street. The speed limit will be standardised to 90 km/h on Al Amardi Street between Al Khawaneej Street and Emirates Road.

This adjustment has been coordinated with the Dubai Police General HQ, and traffic signs as well as road markings will be updated accordingly to reflect the new limits.

The RTA emphasised that these changes aim to complement recent developments and expansions on both streets, which have increased lane capacity and improved intersections. Good news for everyone who lives on the eastern side of Dubai.

Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street has seen significant upgrades, including the construction of an overpass at Dubai Al Ain Road.
