The Abu Dhabi Police General Headquarters has officially announced the activation of the emergency speed reduction system on one of the capital's major thoroughfares, Arabian Gulf Street. Effective immediately, this Wednesday, the maximum speed limit has been adjusted to 100 km/h to ensure the safety of all road users during the current prevailing conditions.

​This proactive measure is part of Abu Dhabi's smart traffic management strategy, designed to mitigate risks during unstable weather or other exceptional circumstances that may hinder visibility or road traction. The automated system updates electronic signboards along the highway, informing motorists of the temporary speed adjustment in real-time. This dynamic approach is essential for preventing multi-vehicle accidents and maintaining a smooth traffic flow under challenging conditions.
​Motorists are strongly urged to comply with the new 100 km/h limit and to remain vigilant while driving. Abu Dhabi Police emphasized that the primary goal of this activation is public safety. Drivers are advised to increase the following distance between vehicles, avoid distractions, and strictly follow the instructions displayed on electronic overhead gantries.
​Furthermore, the authorities clarified that speed cameras and radar systems have been recalibrated to reflect the temporary 100 km/h limit. Violators will be subject to fines based on the adjusted speed shown on the road signs. Abu Dhabi Police continues to prioritize the well-being of the community by utilizing world-class technology to make the city's roads safer for everyone.
