Page 215 - SALIK ENGLISH PR REPORT NOVEMBER 2024

Just days after two new Salik gates opened in Dubai, the RTA has
announced an increase in toll gate charges for the first time ever…

Dubai drivers, take note: crossing the city’s Salik toll gates during rush hour

will soon cost Dhs6 instead of Dhs4, marking the first increase since the
system launched. The revised charges come into effect at the end of
January 2025, with off-peak crossings remaining at Dhs4.

Rush hours are defined as 6am to 10am and 4pm to 8pm, while off-peak
times fall between 10am and 4pm, and 8pm to 1am. For the night owls,

crossing the gates will be free between 1am and 6am. Sundays, excluding
public holidays, special occasions, or major events, will follow the off-peak
rate of Dhs4.

This announcement comes on the heels of two new Salik gates opening in
the city, as part of the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA)’s broader

strategy to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion.

In addition to toll changes, parking rates are also going up. Starting at the
end of March 2025, premium parking spaces will cost Dhs6 per hour, while
public slots will be Dhs4 per hour during morning (8am to 10am) and
evening (4pm to 8pm) peak hours. Off-peak parking charges will remain

unchanged, and parking will remain free from 10pm to 8am and on Sundays.
