Starting on May 1, slow drivers on fast lanes of major highways in Abu Dhabi will be fined Dh400, according to Abu Dhabi Police. The minimum speed on Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Road will be set at 120kmph on the fast lanes, or the first and second lanes from the left. Truck drivers and other motorists may drive on the third lane or last lane where there is no minimum speed. "Implementing the minimum speed is aimed at boosting road safety. It will urge slow vehicles to use appropriate lanes," said Major General Ahmed Saif bin Zaytoun Al Muhairi, director of the Central Operations Sector. ICA/Expat Media
