Abu Dhabi-Al Ghuwaifat Road earned a notorious reputation as one of the most dangerous roads in the emirate. In a bid to repair this reputation, new speed limits have been installed in different sections of the road.
The first stretch starts from Al Dhafra bridge diversion to Baynunah Forest with speed limits of 100km/h and including a grace speed radar setting at 121km/h. The second stretch starts from Baynunah Forest to Barakah region, with a speed limit of 120km/h and including a grace speed radar setting of 141km/h.
The third stretch extends from Barakah to Al Ghuwaifat, with a speed limit of 100km/h and including a grace speed radar setting of 121km/h. The speed limit for heavy trucks will remain set at 80km/h, while the speed limit for passenger buses will be set at 100km/h for all phases of the road.
Acting Deputy Director of the Traffic and Patrols Directorate at Abu Dhabi Police confirmed that the signage has already been put in place so that the drivers can see the speed limit for the respective sections that they are cruising.
