The speed limit has been slashed on a section of Dubai-Hatta Street in Ajman's Masfout area as part of efforts to improve road safety.

It has been reduced from 100 km/h to 80 km/h. Ajman Police have put up warning signs in the area to alert motorists.

The authority said the decision was taken based on a study which found that a speed limit reduction on the road would help avoid accidents.
