Hey lads
could anyone temme wats the top speed allowed on Dubai's 120 Km/h roads.

I mean at wat speed does the radars start flashin... hehe...

I hav heard may tellein dat its allowed to drive till 159 Km/h on 120 km/h roads...

I hav never tried it...

Jus want to kno...

- n ! T h u n -

my understanding is this:

on Emirates road (311) it starts flashing at 140, on SZR (11) before the 3rd interchange 120, after 140 and AD boarder 160. A good portion of the radars don't work though in the city.

Drive safe though.

thanks buddy for the info...

Be warned, radars in Jumeira, where the speed limit is 80kpr, the radar flashes over 85kpr.

When it comes to maximum speed limits I know that Fayz is the man to see... Mr. Speed

Follow the speed limit and you'll be fine. There is a reason for speed limits people!

Actually the posted speed limit is not indicative of the "actual" limit as per Fayz's previous post.

Thanks to Fayz, I was able to ignore the posted limits since my first days as a Dubai driver

Thanks buddy!!! hehehehe....

OH NOOOOO i created a monster

I'm afraid he might have been a monster already!

(sorry, couldn't resist the opportunity! )

Fayz, I'm going to have to have a chat with you about your driving habits.

You are a flamer. It is shameful. Not once did I attack you in this thread and yet you still take every opportunity to flame.

Sad... So sad.

I'm actually in good spirits and was having a bit of fun. I had the laughing face there, didn't you notice?

Looked more like a mocking face. Considering our "interactions" in the past, my reaction was out out of the ordinary.

However for the interests for humor, I accept your joke and laugh along.

some people just dont get subtle humour K

Who's been a naughty girl then ??

actually all of those portable black multinovas are set at 81 as well when set on secondary roads, the ones in cars though seem to be more forgiving and are set at 101kph from what i've been able to gather.

once i had seen a mobile radar as fayz said the black multinova kept near a u turn while headin towards knowledge village

i was waiting to take u turn

and within a minute or two i saw it flashin at three speedin cars

so just imagine the revenue the govt might b gettin from diz...

hehe

Speed limits are set for a reason. Speed kills people which ever way you look at it, you're a moron if you go racing down the roads.

Perhaps because it not funny Liban, both my aunt and best friend from school were killed by speeding morons. So sorry I don't think it's even funny to joke about such things.

Spoil sport.

You know the truth is these cameras are not a deterrent for most of them, you can spot them a good distance away. Increases in fines don’t seem to work either, I was reading the comments from 7 days and one comment was about a guy who budgets 1500/month for tickets.

Speed in itself doesn’t kill but sure as heck increases damage and loss of life when combined with idiocy. I hope black points are implemented and they are given for things like unsafe lane changes, tailgating, driving cars without headlights, taillights, brake lights, etc.

Maybe it is the CDN in me talking but I’m also a big fan of daytime running lights, I think this should be implemented worldwide, in Canada when it was done in 1991 there was a statistical drop in number of fatalities and in a place where a good portion of people tint windows and driving speeds are high making cars a little more visable is not a bad thing.

Oh I read somewhere that the Dubai gov generates AED 1million/day in fines but not sure how reliable the source was.

I feel sorry to hear this choco. no wonder you get so upset whenever speeding or reckless driving is discussed. I thought you over reacted sumtimes although I din mention it to you, but not anymore. sorry for judging

yep, dummy radars as we call it. But sumtimes they fix the cams in it & SUPRISE!!

Juts place you're mobile phone next to the radio and make sure that both are on.

Coming close to a radar, you will hear a buzz, as if you are recieving a phone call.....

It works for me

g! thnx!
will try it out!
