Two new Salik gates in Dubai – at the Business Bay Crossing on Al Khail

Road and at Al Safa South on Sheikh Zayed Road – will be activated on

Sunday, taking the number of tolls in the emirate to 10.

Announced by the Roads and Transport Authority in January, the gates

will collect the standard Dh4 every time a vehicle crosses them and will
aim to reduce traffic congestion by 12 to 15 per cent in the Business Bay

area and by 15 per cent in Al Safa area.

In January, Salik Company – the operator of the toll gates – explained

that the locations were chosen following traffic studies to reduce

congestion.

“The addition of new toll gates in two increasingly busy locations marks

the latest milestone in the growth plan that we set out at the time of
Salik’s initial public offering," Ibrahim Al Haddad, chief executive of

Salik, said at the time. Mattar Al Tayer, director general of the RTA,

added that Dubai's road toll strategy was key to its efforts to reduce

traffic.
