11/25/24, 1:35 PM Two new Dubai Salik toll gates go live tomorrow: Key details inside
Business Bay Crossing on Al Khail Road.
Al Safa South on Sheikh Zayed Road, between Al Meydan and Umm Al Sheif streets.

When will they be live?

The gates will officially start functioning from 24 November 2024.

Payment system

Motorists passing through both Al Safa gates—North and South—within an hour will only be charged
once. This system mirrors the toll process at the Al Mamzar gates, ensuring seamless travel without

incurring multiple charges.

Rumours of dynamic pricing for Salik were refuted in an October filing with the Dubai Financial Market.
The toll rate remains at Dh4 per crossing, with no changes planned for time-dependent tariffs.

According to RTA officials, these toll points will support an efficient commute by managing vehicle distribution along Sheikh Zayed Road, a
vital artery connecting various key areas across Dubai.

Alternative routes

To ease the transition and mitigate congestion, the RTA has suggested several alternative routes:

Near Al Safa South:

Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road (E311).

Dubai-Al Ain Road (E66).
Ras Al Khor Road (E44).
