i was in Dubai earlier this year and rented a car to drive to Abu Dhabi and back. i can't remember if the route was Sheikh Zayed road all the way down, but i started on that road and traveled down it for quite awhile.
i can easily see a tourist triggering every single camera down that road because they're pretty well-hidden (understandably), no one at the agency or no one who helped me plan the trip said anything about speed cams, and we Americans are not used to being on the look out for them.
i found out about them because i did some research on Dubai driving, so i was prepared. but not everyone will do that. i'm also sure that the cameras give you a little bit of leeway so you can speed a little bit without triggering them. i probably passed by at least some of them at 90 mph because i got so tired of slowing down every half mile, but i did not get charged for any tickets.
