UAE: Speed limiter devices to be installed in Ajman taxis to reduce road hazards

Ajman announced the installation of smart speed limiters in taxis and limousines operating in the emirate. The system will automatically adjust the vehicle's speed based on its real-time location, and the road limits. 

Ajman is the first in the country to implement this type of smart system, which differs from those currently in use in the UAE. With more advanced technology, the new project aims to regulate vehicle speeds and reduce hazardous behaviour on roads.
