“The traffic toll policies also encourage the public to shift towards mass transport means such as the
metro, buses, marine transport, and soft mobility options,” he added.

The introduction of Salik is also expected to reduce travel times on Sheikh Zayed Road. The Business
Bay Crossing Gate, for instance, is expected to contribute to reducing traffic on Al Khail Road by 15
percent and on Al Rebat Street by 16 percent.

The Al Safa South Gate is expected to reduce traffic turning right from Sheikh Zayed Road to Al
Meydan Street by 15 percent.

It is also expected to cut down the traffic flow from Al Meydan and Al Safa Streets to Sheikh Zayed
Road by 42 percent. It is expected to decrease the traffic volume on Sheikh Zayed Road between
Financial Centre and Latifa Bint Hamdan Streets by 4 percent and optimise the use of the First Al
Khail and Al Asayel Roads by up to 4 percent, according to Al Tayer.
