The notification just said they won't be changed for a while, not sure why.

im with u jasmin, the road is really safe to drive 140, open road and no crud or camels,

but some times the camera flashed one light only on my friends even they are less than 120,

but if u r sure why until now they didn't changed the signs to 140?

It is not a dangerous road, the visibily is generally about 3km, the road is flat and there are 4 lanes. There are never more than 2 cars at a time. Camel fences and bright street lamps make it a very safe and fantastic road. The old Dukhan road was dangerous. This is not. I have lived in Dukhan and worked in Doha for 6 years. I am probably better qualified to judge this road than people who used it once or twice.

If you want to live longer I suggest driving 120, the road is dangerous so 120 is enough.

It has officially changed. The signs will be changed in time. Incidently, since we got the email about this in December I have used the road average 3 times a week at 140 all the way to Shahanniya and the camera hasn't flashed once. I have no violations.

if it says 120, then just abide by it.. no reason to envy those driving more than that...
