The speed limit on Umm Suqeim Road and Al Qudra Road will be standardised at 80kph from June 1 to reduce and prevent accidents.
The limit will cover the sector from Sheikh Zayed Road to Emirates Road (formerly Dubai Bypass Road), according to the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority.
There have been 30 traffic accidents resulting in three fatalities and nine injuries along Umm Suqeim Road between Al Khail Road and Mohammed bin Zayed Road, said Maitha bin Udai, chief executive of the RTA’s Traffic and Roads Agency.

Trump has so far secured 295 Electoral College votes, according to the Associated Press, exceeding the 270 needed to win. Only Nevada and Arizona remain to be called, and both swing states are leaning Republican. Trump swept all five remaining swing states, North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, sealing his path to victory and giving him a strong mandate.
Popular Vote Tally
The count is ongoing, but Trump currently leads with nearly 51 per cent of the popular vote to Harris’s 47.6 per cent. Trump has over 72.2 million votes, while Harris trails with approximately 67.4 million.
