The Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and the Dubai Police decided to reduce the speed limit on Al Ittihad Road, between Sharjah and Al Garhoud Bridge, from 100 km/h to 80 km/h, effective Nov.20, 2023.

This decision, which has been coordinated with the Dubai Police GHQ, is based on a recent study that reviewed the number of entrances and exits, proximity of intersections, recurrence of traffic accidents, and recent improvements and developments in the area.
