The minimum speed limit was in effect for exactly two years, during which if your car wasn’t built with a cruise control feature (enabling you to set speeds between 120km/h and 140 km/h), or if you had a brain fade and let the needle dip below 120 km/h, you’d be fined Dhs400 for going under the minimum limit.

Now, the minimum speed limit has been taken off the signboards on the road to reflect the change, allowing more flexibility for drivers.
