In a bid to improve traffic flow and ensure safety on one of Abu Dhabi’s busiest roads, the Integrated Transport Centre (Abu Dhabi Mobility) has announced the implementation of a variable speed limit system on Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Street. The new system, set to take effect on October 27, will dynamically adjust speed limits based on specific conditions, including adverse weather, peak traffic hours, special events, and ongoing road maintenance. This initiative underscores the emirate’s commitment to leveraging technology for smarter urban mobility. Earlier this year, the speed limit on this key thoroughfare was reduced from 120 km/h to 100 km/h, a move aimed at curbing accidents and enhancing driver safety. Authorities have urged motorists to strictly adhere to the changing speed limits, emphasizing the system’s role in minimizing congestion and preventing road incidents. The variable speed limit system is part of Abu Dhabi’s broader strategy to modernize its transportation infrastructure and create a safer, more efficient driving environment for residents and visitors alike.
