Take care and be careful…
For all who drive in Dubai , All Dubai except Jumeira:
All Dubai radars have been reset to catch if your speed is 10 Km/Hr above the street speed. In other words, if the speed limit is 100 Km/Hr (like beginning of SHK Zayed Road ) you should not exceed 109 Km/Hr. [Before was if the road speed limit is 100 Km/Hr, the radar only was to catch if the speed is 120 Km/Hr]
Jumeira (Main Roads only) - The speed limit is 80 Km/Hr and radar will catch on 81 Km/Hr Jumeira (Suburb Roads only)

This was related to Dubai posts and not chandigard.
If you are connected with HR i& Admin ssues in the UAE, you better be concerned.
It may not be important to you, but could be important to others.

Still so, I will bet that the enthusiasm shown to reply this mail in itself speaks volumes and volumes as to how much it was relevant to the HR society.

Dear Shahid
This happens sometimes. People in India are not aware what importance does Roads, Traffic and regulations in UAE carries for every working professional over here. So, sometimes, there may be issues which are limited to the interests of UAE working way of life, in such cases, just be little patient and think of giving some suggestive inputs or comments on that. I appreciate your reaction. This site is meant for HR issues and we should not let our objectives get lost.
Alburman, thanks for the posting. Hope the information is from real authentic source. Sometime back, Nasar also posted same regulations and even the sentences. But still we are more interested to have the real source, authentic source. Though you mentioned Dubai police etc…but how about giving reference of the document. Where can we get printed resources of these modifications if made any ?
Hope you understood the importance of authentic information specially in this part of the world.
Cheers
