11/4/24, 2:32 PM Dubai to activate two new Salik Toll Gates to ease traffic - Emirati Times
The Salik system was introduced in 2007 to ease congestion on Sheikh
Zayed Road and raise state revenue. Tags fixed to windscreens can be
purchased online or at service stations. They can be topped up online or
through recharge cards.
Motorists are charged Dh4 ($1.09) to pass through each gate, with the
amount deducted automatically. The eight other toll gates are located at:
Al Barsha, Al Garhoud, Al Maktoum, Al Mamzar South, Al Mamzar North, Al
Safa, Airport Tunnel, Jebel Ali
When the most recent toll gate was introduced in Jebel Ali in 2018,
transport officials said it could reduce traffic by about 25 per cent. The RTA
aims to reduce traffic levels through a comprehensive road-building
strategy and is also working to bolster public transport options to take
more cars off the roads.
