From new Salik gates to paid parking in Dubai Mall…

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is rolling in some noteworthy changes aimed at
enhancing traffic management and ensuring a seamless transportation system for

residents and commuters.

Here are 6 major traffic updates coming to Dubai this year:

New Salik toll gates

Two new Salik toll gates will begin operating on Dubai roads in November 2024, taking
the total number of toll gates in Dubai from eight to 10. The first will be located at the

Business Bay Crossing on Al Khail Road and the second in Al Safa South on Sheikh Zayed
Road between Al Meydan Street and Umm Al Sheif Street.

Three new bridges

Two new major bridges have been opened by the RTA as part of the Garn Al Sabkha
– Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road Intersection Improvement Project. This new

move could reduce travel time on the road by up to 70 per cent. The bridges open in the
direction of Al Qusais and Jebel Ali. A third and final bridge is also meant to open soon as
part of the project to complete it. This bridge will open in October and is aimed at easing

traffic between Sheikh Zayed Road and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road.

Partial closure of Al Maktoum Bridge
