Studies have shown that reducing speed limits can help improve traffic safety, the Abu Dhabi Police said. Motorists are urged to watch their speed and adhere to all traffic rules and regulations.

Speeding is a serious traffic offence punishable by fines ranging from Dh300 to Dh3,000, depending on how fast the motorist goes over the speed limit.
