Speed limits on the roads around Khobar
When the 140 km/h limit came to some Saudi expressways in February 2018, the Riyadh–Dammam highway was not on the list. The higher limit went to sections of the Riyadh–Taif, Riyadh–Qassim, Makkah–Madinah and Madinah–Jeddah roads.
Main roads inside cities and roads between cities are set at 120 km/h in the Saher system.
Saher cameras in Khobar
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 accident rates in Dammam fell by about 20 % with Saher and other automated traffic systems, and congestion by about the same.
