Rumours have been doing the rounds in Dubai that speed limits on key roads have been revised, and the 20 km/hr window of radar flash has been done away with.
At the moment, radars on most roads are set to flash when the driver exceeds the stipulated speed limit by over 20 km per hour.
Khaleej Times did a quick check on the Dubai Police website, and has found that no such changes have been made to speed limits.
According to Arabic daily Al Bayan, the Dubai police called upon users of social media to share the right news from its sources and not to be driven by untrue reports that are posted on social media.
However, what has changed on the roads is that some radars have become "friendlier". Instead of flashing after the driver exceeds the 20 km/hr window, these radars send out a warning flash when they find that a driver is about to go beyond the grace window. Therefore, don't worry if you are driving at 118 km/hr on a road that has a 100 km/hr speed limit and you are flashed by a radar.
"One should not post any material, whether it is a video clip or a voice recording, on social media sites as they may contain wrong information that pertains to the safety of the public even if this is done with good intentions," said Major General Mohammed Saif Al Zafeen, Dubai Police's Assistant Commander- in-chief for Operations.
Here are the speed limits on key Dubai roads, according to the Dubai Police website:
