UAE Speeding Fines 2026: Full Penalty List

Speed limits on UAE roads

UAE roads carry clear posted limits, usually 120 km/h on highways, 100 km/h on main roads, and 60-80 km/h inside cities. Always follow the signs; radar and cameras operate 24 hours across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, and other emirates.

Fines for exceeding the limit by small margins

Going 10-20 km/h over the posted limit costs 300 AED and adds zero black points. The same rule applies on all roads monitored by the RTA or Abu Dhabi Police.

20-30 km/h over: 600 AED and 2 black points
30-40 km/h over: 1,000 AED and 4 black points

Higher speed brackets and heavier penalties

Drivers caught 40-50 km/h above the limit face 2,000 AED plus 6 black points. Crossing 50 km/h or more triggers the top fine of 3,000 AED, 12 black points, and possible vehicle impoundment for 30 days. Repeat offenders within 12 months may lose their licence for up to one year.

Where cameras catch speeders

Fixed radars sit on every major highway and many urban arteries. Mobile units appear near schools, construction zones, and accident black spots. Abu Dhabi and Dubai police also use unmarked vehicles on Sheikh Zayed Road and E44. You receive an SMS and an ICP-linked fine notice within 24-48 hours.

How to pay or dispute a fine

Pay online through the RTA app, Dubai Police app, or ICP portal using your Emirates ID. Payment is due within 30 days to avoid extra fees. If you believe the reading is wrong, file an appeal within 15 days via the same portals with your evidence. Fines paid late attract a 50 percent surcharge after the grace period.

Black points and licence consequences

Black points stay on your record for 12 months. Reach 12 points and your licence is suspended for one month. At 24 points the suspension rises to three months. Tourists and new residents should note that unpaid fines can block exit visas through ICP systems.
