Abu Dhabi continues to systematically improve road safety. WITH February 9th In the UAE capital, new speed limits are coming into force on key highways, including Abu Dhabi — Al Ain Road and Al Rawdah Road.

Such changes are of direct importance for the real estate market and the quality of life, since transport accessibility and safety are important factors when choosing an area for living and investment.

Which roads have been affected by the changes

The reduction in speed limits affected:

• Abu Dhabi — Al Ain Road (E22);
• Al Rawdah Road (E30);
• sections leading to the Bani Yas junction and the bridge complex.

These roads play a key role in daily travel between residential areas, business clusters and the capital's suburbs.

Why are the authorities slowing down

The main goal of the changes is to reduce accidents and improve overall safety. Abu Dhabi is consistently implementing an approach that gives priority not to maximum speed, but traffic predictability and the protection of road users.

Additional measures, such as the abolition of the minimum speed at E311 and the introduction of variable limits, point to a transition to more flexible and smarter management of the transport system.

The impact of transport policy on the real estate market

For property buyers and investors, changes in transport infrastructure are important for several reasons:

• improved security increases the attractiveness of residential areas;
• smoother traffic reduces stress and improves quality of life;
• smart transport systems make districts more resilient to population growth;
• long-term infrastructure solutions support the stability of real estate prices.

Areas near key highways, where modern traffic control systems are being implemented, often benefit in the long run.

Abu Dhabi and the Sustainable Urban Mobility Strategy

Reducing speeds and introducing variable limits are part of Abu Dhabi's broader strategy to create a safe, technologically advanced and comfortable city. These measures complement the development of public transport, new residential clusters and master-planned communities.

Conclusion: security and infrastructure as a factor in housing value

New speed limits in Abu Dhabi underscore that the authorities are betting on the quality of the urban environment. This is a positive signal for the real estate market: cities with well-thought-out transport policies remain more attractive for living, renting and investing.
