Motorists confused about speed limit on February 22nd Street
Several motorists are still confused over the restoration of the 100km/h speed limit on February 22nd Street.
The Traffic Department's decision to restore the speed limit to 100km/h from 80km/h came in response to a recommendation by the Advisory Council.
The change officially came into effect earlier last week, according to local media reports.
Motorists are still unsure if the 100km/h speed limit has been restored on the busy road as signs still show the speed limit as 80km/h.
Issa al-Kaabi, a local motorist, said while most people were still following the 80km/h speed limit as the road signs indicate, some could be seen driving at a higher speed in line with the restored limit.
This could lead to accidents on the busy and congested road, it was felt. He wondered why the department had not yet replaced the signs.
@qatarliving that's confusing

Motorists have sought clarity on the matter and urged the authorities to help remove any confusion.
@qatarliving they decreased the speed in one night to 80km and required Shoura Council to restore it. surprising..

Earlier this year, the Traffic Department reduced the speed limit to 80km/h on February 22nd Street on an experimental basis.
It was done to see if a lower speed limit on the road, on which accidents and congestion were common, would help improve the situation. [Gulf Times]

I had to sell my Number Plate to pay my Traffic Violation Fines
Drive at 70km/h

Bureuacracy
I don't get it. What is so hard about replacing signs and reprogramming displays with updated speed limit?
Signs say 80, maybe 100? or 120? who cares, Locals have no speed limits! :D
Starting before Midmac roundabout while coming from airport on E-Ring road till gharrafa flyover
KINDLY REPLACE THE SIGN OF 100KM....STILL OUR SPEED LIMITE 80KM
I am still confused from where to where is the February 22nd Street.
The signs show 80. They supersede rumors on QL!
Its all very confusing. I am thinking of putting a speed limiter on my Pink Kia. Don't want to get fined
