If you\u2019ve been stressing about keeping up with the 120 km\/h minimum speed on Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Road (E311)<\/strong>, here\u2019s some good news \u2014 Abu Dhabi has officially removed<\/strong> the rule. That means no more AED 400 fines just for driving a bit slower than that on the left lanes.<\/p>\n

Abu Dhabi Mobility, the authority in charge of transport in the emirate, announced<\/a> that the minimum speed requirement is no longer in effect<\/strong>. This change only affects E311, the major highway linking Abu Dhabi and Dubai.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The rule had been introduced in April 2023 for the first two lanes from the left. If you were driving slower than 120 km\/h there, you could be fined AED 400. The third lane, which is for heavy vehicles, was always exempt from the rule.<\/p>\n

Now, with the rule gone, drivers no longer need to worry about keeping up a high minimum speed in those left lanes. If you prefer driving more slowly, just avoid the fast lanes on the left and stick to the right lanes<\/strong>. This helps traffic move smoothly and keeps you out of trouble.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

However, the maximum speed limit stays at 140 km\/h<\/strong>. That part hasn\u2019t changed, and radars will still catch anyone going over it. It\u2019s also worth remembering that Abu Dhabi doesn\u2019t allow the 20 km\/h \u201cbuffer\u201d that exists in other parts of the UAE<\/strong>. If the limit is 140 km\/h, going even 141 km\/h could get you fined.<\/p>\n

Besides the update on E311, two other highways in Abu Dhabi have seen speed changes<\/a> too<\/strong>. As of April 14, 2025, the speed limits on Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed International Road (E11) and Abu Dhabi\u2013Sweihan Road (E20) have been reduced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
