Salik Company PJSC – Dubai's exclusive toll gate operator – has yet to issue a fresh

The other new Salik – the ninth toll gate – is located on Business Bay Crossing along Al Khail
Road. Its exact location was reported by Khaleej Times last month.

Commencement of operations

Al Haddad earlier said:“Everything is on track, and we are not expecting any delays,”
(regarding construction of new toll gates).

“A subsequent announcement will be issued to the public by Dubai's Roads and Transport

Authority and Salik PJSC prior to the commencement of operations,” he noted, adding:“We
are also very pleased to highlight that both new toll gates will be almost 100 per cent solar

powered, which is a first for Salik and something that we have been focused on achieving for
some time.”

Salik also earlier explained:“Similar to Al Mamzar North and South toll gates, the upcoming Al

Safa South gate will be linked with the existing Al Safa North gate – meaning, motorists will be
charged only once if they pass through the two gates within one hour in the same direction."

Each time a vehicle passes through a Salik toll gate, the RFID technology detects the vehicle

and scans the Salik sticker tag. A toll fee of Dh4 is automatically deducted from the motorist's
prepaid toll account.

Where are they located?

The Al Safa South gate on Sheikh Zayed Road heading towards Abu Dhabi is located right
after going down Dubai Water Canal bridge, right in front of MedCare Orthopedics and Spine

Hospital.

The toll gate on the other side – in the direction going towards Sharjah – is located between

United Arab Bank and Pupil of Fate Motors, right before making a right turn to Al Meydan
Street or before taking the ramp going left to Al Hadiqa Road towards Jumeirah.

Impact of new toll gates

Al Haddad earlier explained to Khaleej Times: For Al Safa South gate,“we expect to improve
flow of traffic allocation between Financial Centre Street and Meydan Street. It will reduce
