According to Sharjah Police, the new speed limit changed from 80km/h to 100km/h as a result of significant road works carried out by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Sharjah, to improve traffic flow in the area.The speed limit on Sharjah's Maliha-Al Faya road has been increased to 100kmph from 80kmph, with a grace limit of 20kmph (120kmph) at which point the radar will capture motorists.
The radars will be functional as soon as the Roads and Transport Authority in Sharjah completes improvement works on the roads and streets.
The traffic and patrol department confirmed that the control of the radar’s speed limit is part of the comprehensive traffic safety plan adopted by Sharjah Police, aimed at improving traffic safety levels in the emirate.
