Abu Dhabi slashes speed limit on these 2 key roads

Motorists travelling to Abu Dhabi will need to ease off the accelerator as authorities move to reduce speed limits on two major highways by 20 kilometres per hour, effective April 14.

The Abu Dhabi Integrated Transport Centre (Abu Dhabi Mobility) confirmed the updated speed regulations on social media platform X. The move aims to enhance road safety.

Speed limit cut on the following roads

Under the revised rules, speed limits on the Abu Dhabi–Sweihan Road (E20) will drop from 120km/h to 100km/h, while the Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed International Road (E11) will see a reduction from 160km/h to 140km/h.
