Speed limits on the roads around Jeddah
Since 19 February 2018, sections of the Madinah–Jeddah expressway carry 140 km/h for cars, 100 km/h for buses and 80 km/h for trucks. The signs show where the higher limit applies.
The Jeddah–Makkah highway was not part of the change. Main roads inside cities and roads between cities are set at 120 km/h in the Saher system.
Saher cameras in Jeddah
Saher, the Ministry of Interior’s automated traffic camera system, was developed in 2009 and went live in 2010. Its cameras and radars record speeding and other offences around the clock and read number plates.
Arab News reported in February 2025 that congestion in Jeddah fell by about 20 % with Saher and other automated traffic systems.
