Abu Dhabi Police have ramped up efforts to curb speeding violations across the emirate, placing a strong focus on driver safety.
The police highlighted eight specific speeding violations, each with corresponding fines and traffic points.
- Exceeding by less than 20km/h: Dh300 fine
- 20-30 km/h over the limit: Dh600 fine
- 30-40 km/h over: Dh700 fine
- 40-50 km/h over: Dh1,000 fine
- 50-60 km/h over: Dh1,500 fine & 6 traffic points
- More than 60km/h over: Dh2,000 fine & 12 traffic points
- Exceeding by more than 80km/h: Dh3,000 fine & 23 traffic points
Falling below the minimum speed limit also comes with a Dh400 penalty. Since May 1, minimum speed limits are actively monitored on Sheikh Mohamded bin Rashid Road. Failing to maintain a minimum speed of 120km/h on designated lanes results in a Dh400 fine.
The police campaign emphasises safe driving practices, including:
- Maintaining appropriate speeds
- Avoiding distractions behind the wheel
- Keeping a safe distance between vehicles
- Signalling lane changes only after checking surroundings
Abu Dhabi Police leverage advanced technology, including radars, to monitor traffic flow and enforce regulations, promoting a safer driving environment.
As summer sets in, proper tyre pressure becomes essential. Drivers are advised to inspect their tyres for damage and ensure their validity for safe driving conditions.
