Dubai (UAE) police have acquired 34 radars for traffic speed enforcement due to an increase in accidents recently. Some of the radars are used in the airport tunnel road.

Police radars are designed to operate in an open area (free space). A radar will not function well in the confined space of a tunnel. Multipath (multi signal bounces) and radar receiver saturation (strong echo signals swamp the receiver) makes it difficult (at best) or impossible to get an accurate, let alone meaningful, speed reading.
