<br />
<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/abu+dhabi">Abu Dhabi</a> has updated the speed limits for certain roads in and around the city and to make sure everyone knows about the new limits, as well as to warn drivers that they've entered one of these changed sections, officials have come up with a unique solution - painting the speed limit on the road.<br />
<br />
On select sections of road, bright red asphalt will serve as a warning that the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/speed+limit">speed limit</a> has changed. The thinking: A driver might miss a sign on the side of the road but they (hopefully) won't miss the entire road.<br />
