1st message of a series I'd like to write about driving in Oman
Speeding in Oman is tempting since you have the highways cutting straight through the land.
However, at least on the highways near Muscat, the roads are monitored by safety cameras. In France, you have a safety camera every 200km or so, here it's every 1 or 2km !
Speed limit on highways is 120km/h, but the safety camera threshold is set between 130km/h and 140km/h (maybe more, I have not checked).
I like this setting because when you cruise at 120km/h, you don't have to pay attention if you are exactly 120km/h. It's okay if you are 125km/h : you won't get a ticket.
The camera are located in the middle of the road and check the speed both ways.

FYI : The fine is 10 OMR per offense.
Thank you for the information. I think you can pay all your Omani traffic offenses at the end of the year.
