160km/h Speed Limit : Mafraq – Ghuwaifat
Nearly one month ago, the speed limit of the “Ruwais to Abu Dhabi” highway was increased back to 140 km/h.
Today, Abu Dhabi Police has announced that you can go further than that, the new speed limit being 160 hm/h. If you know arabic, read the below “tweet”.

For the english version of the announcement, a simple google search will provide you plenty of results. For example: The National covering this story.
Also, i want to point out the obvious consequences of going 1 km/h above the speed limit. Starting from 161 km/h the radar will flash you, and you will get a speeding ticket.
Lastly, for your info, here is the full timeline of the events related to our highway:
- January 1, 2018 Mafraq-Ghuwaifat highway speed limit is increased to 140 km/h
- January 24, 2018 Mafraq-Ghuwaifat highway gets renamed to Shaikh Khalifa road
- January 30, 2018 The new speed limit (160 km/h) is announced as being implemented on Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Road from January 24

We must have noticed, esp. the communiting public using the X81 Ruwais Housing to Abu Dhabi International Airport, that the service has been discontinued effective 01Jan 2018. Do we have any ways to verify why the service was removed, ans is there any other chance that the service will resume?
