He explained that the decision aims to reduce traffic accidents, particularly as the road passes through a densely populated residential and commercial area and carries heavy traffic, serving as a key link between Ras Al Khaimah and other emirates.

Brigadier Al Naqbi urged motorists to comply with the revised speed limit to avoid violations and fines, stressing that public safety remains the top priority for Ras Al Khaimah Police in all decisions related to road use.
