The authority urged motorists to follow the directional signs and adhere to the speed limit.

Meanwhile, the Roads and Transport Authority in Sharjah on May 25, announced the reduction of speed limits on two major roads, namely, Al Ittihad and Al Wahda.

The drivers will need to adhere to a speed of 80kmph instead of 100kmph, as the speed signs now reflect the new limit.

In November last year, authorities implemented a similar speed reduction exercise on the stretch between Sharjah and Al Garhoud Bridge, bringing limits down from 100kmph to 80kmph.
