Abu Dhabi E311 speed limit is now 100km/h - what happens if you drive at 101km/h?

## New Speed Limit on E311

Motorists traveling on Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Street (E311) in Abu Dhabi now face a reduced speed limit of 100km/h. This change, effective immediately, applies to a significant section of the highway connecting Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

## No Grace Buffer

Unlike Dubai, where a grace-speed buffer is often applied, Abu Dhabi enforces a strict zero-tolerance policy. This means driving even 1km/h over the posted limit can result in fines. Radar cameras are in place to detect any violations.

## Speeding Fines

Fines for exceeding the speed limit in Abu Dhabi range from Dh300 to Dh3,000, depending on the severity of the offense. Motorists should be aware of these penalties when driving between the two emirates.

## Affected Area

The new 100km/h limit affects the stretch of E311 between the At Turoush Street/Tawi Al Qaymah Street junctions and the Al Khayr Street interchange. This area is located between Al Shamkhah and Madinat Al Riyad.

## Recent Changes

This adjustment is part of a series of speed limit changes in Abu Dhabi. Previous modifications include the removal of a minimum speed limit on E311 and the introduction of variable speed limits on Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Street.
