Salik, the operator that manages the toll system in Dubai, has
confirmed that motorists are required to purchase a Salik tag

when they get a new car and make sure they stick it on the

windscreen.Ads y

Responding to social media comments from users, claiming

people don’t need to do so, Salik said in a statement to Gulf News:
“Yes, sticking the tag in the right place on the vehicle windshield is

mandatory as per law number 22 for 2006.

“The Salik traffic toll system operates by smoothly reading the
Salik tags on the vehicle's windshield using RFID (Radio

Frequency Identification) technology, one of the most advanced

technologies in worldwide use. This system identifies the vehicle

efficiently and precisely without the need for human intervention

or mistakes that would result in vehicle violations, particularly
because different vehicle plates are used across the country.”

Where should you place the Salik tag?

According to Salik, the right place for the Salik tag is in the top
centre of your windscreen. You need to position your tag

approximately one centimetre below your rearview mirror.

In case you have a vehicle with a metallic or metallised windshield,
the best position to place Salik tag is on the dotted area of your

windshield and in case you have a vehicle with a windshield that

has a darker tinted area, place the tag on the lighter area and not

on the tinted one.

When you get a new Salik tag, detailed instructions are provided
in the envelope that you receive.
