Starting April 14, 2025, drivers in Abu Dhabi will need to keep an eye on their speedometers as new speed limits take effect on two major roads. Check the information and official maps by AD Mobility to stay informed and avoid fines.
New speed limit at Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed International Road (E11)
The maximum speed is dropping from 160 km/h to 140 km/h. The updated speed zones can be seen on the map below.
These updates are part of a broader plan to make the roads safer and cut down on accidents. Authorities want to reduce the risks that come with high-speed driving — especially on long, straight highways where people tend to go too fast.
New speed limit at Abu Dhabi – Sweihan Road (E20)
The limit will go down from 120 km/h to 100 km/h. The updated speed zones can be seen on the map below.
The Abu Dhabi Police are asking drivers to follow the new limits carefully and stay alert behind the wheel. It’s not just about avoiding fines — it’s about protecting lives, including your own.
So if you regularly use either of these routes, make sure you adjust your driving habits starting mid-April. It’s a good idea to check your usual commute and see how the new limits might affect your timing.
