Based on the foregoing criteria, the speed limits have been determined on cycling tracks, as follows:

  • The speed limit on cycling tracks for amateurs is 30 km/h (Al Warqa Square, Nad Al Sheba).
  • External training tracks remain without speed limit, but cyclists must abide by safety instructions and conditions (Seh Al Salam, Al Qudra).
  • The speed limit in shared areas with vehicles is set at 30 km/h.
