Default For all who drive in Dubai

All Dubai except Jumeirah:
All Dubai radars have been reset to catch @ 10 Km/Hr above the street speed.
In other words, If speed limit is 100 Km/Hr, you shouldn't exceed 109 Km/Hr. whereas earlier you used to reach 120 Km/Hr without a problem. Well It’s different now.

Jumeirah (Main Roads only)
The speed limit is 80 Km/Hr and radar will catch on 81 Km/Hr (You are their favorite customer)

Jumeirah (Suburb Roads only):
Hidden radar cameras are there. Speed limit in these areas is 40 Km/Hr, and radar will catch on 41 Km/Hr
YES it is only 40 Km/Hr (I will sure be that u’ll be their favorite customer)

The cost of each radar will be Dhs.500 instead of Dhs.200 in the near future. HERE GOES YOUR SALARY!
Drive safely.

At the end of the day it doens't matter if only half have them in as you can't tell until you're right at it at which time it's too late to slow down.

or I guess you could notice that there wasn't a camera in one....back up a few hundred meters and then go roaring past it at 200 clicks for the fun of it.

You can tell if you have a radar detector! I can confirm that roughly 1/2 are operable at any given time.
