The road with the Co-Op on it?

That'll be the road I usually drive at 100 down, then... must be going too fast to see the speed cameras :rofl:

There's a 60 limit on the dual carriageway that runs along side the E44 too, where it branches off for the E66 to Al Ain.......

yes and you won't see them cos the sneaky twats hide behind the bin and the trees on the right, you will get a text soon, after you have accrued 3 at least !

No hun, its just a dual carriageway. The E44 is Al Khail road and the E66 is the main route to Al Ain.

Yeah, thats the 66. The dual carriageway I'm referring to has no buildings on it and is before you leave the 44 for the 66. Its only 1k long or so.

I know where you mean, it is like the the one that goes from Al Khail to the Ranches which I think is 70 km?

Could be. Either way, its a ridiculously low speed! Plus they have some new multi-camera unit fitted there (a grey tower with 2 or cameras in it, facing different directions) so I keep to what the sign says to be sure!

oh yes, all over the place but they are normally ignored, the new Bridge at the Greens in 40 kms an hour, no one does 40 on it, me included, but my eyes are wide open for cameras!

Ah last time I went down there fast was a Friday morning three months ago, hopefully before they started ;)

Police site reports no fines by either licence number or plate... I'm still hoping to leave this place without ever having been caught speeding.

Yes - some of them are split with both 'our' and 'their' numbers on them, e.g. 60 / Ù¦Ù .
