Authorities in Abu Dhabi often reduce speed limits during adverse weather conditions, such as dust, fog, or rain. However, these are temporary reductions, meant for a short period of time, to ensure safety during periods where driving visibility may be hindered. In contrast, the newly announced speed limits are a permanent measure.
