New speed cameras on Yas Island
Spotted a very new looking camera-like device in the central reservation on Yas Island this morning just before the turn off for F1 circuit (in addition to the traffic ones popping up which are like those on Corniche and Khaleej Al Arabi, and the overhead gantries with one camera per lane which are further along).
Anyone know if this is likely to be permanent and what the limit is, since nominally Yas/Sadiyaat Road is only 100 km/h? |

I was told that the gantry mounted 'cameras' are actually a traffic management system, as opposed to speed camera, but Ill let you know soon enough, was running late to get to a tee time at Saadiyat on Friday morning....!!!!

Unless I am missing something, don't you leave the Dubai/AD highway just before the Al Raha area on to Yas Island, which then goes over the wetlands before going onto Saddiyat?

Correct - I would have thought from all that cycling he does, commander would have noticed the difference between Yas Island, Saadiyat Island and the causeway between them?

Re: New speed cameras on Yas Island
ctfc that camera (small squat white thing) has been there for at least 6 months - but couldn't possibly say if it is functional or not. There are some average speed cameras being plotted and a few more standard types for the island itself.
