Dubai speed limits explained: How much over the limit can you drive before radar catches you?
Here’s the road speed and grace speed limit for over 60 roads in Dubai
Dubai: Whether you are an experienced driver in Dubai or a newcomer behind the wheel, it's essential to understand not only the posted speed limits but also how speeding fines are issued by Dubai Police.
According to the Dubai Police website, road speeds in the UAE fall into two categories: the official road speed and the radar control limit.
The road speed is what you will see on signboards along the road. The radar control limit, however, is the speed at which traffic radar cameras start recording violations. The difference between these two is known as the grace speed limit - typically ranging from 20km/h to 30km/h above the posted limit, depending on the road.
