Some big and expensive changes are coming to the roads of Dubai very soon. Earlier this year, the Dubai
RTA announced there would be 2 new Salik toll gates set in place and operational by the end of
November. These new gates will affect Dubai’s busiest roads – Al Khail Road & Sheikh Zayed Road. In
addition to these new tolls, the Dubai RTA is also considering increasing the prices of Salik fees from the
standard AED 4. At the moment, these price increases are just in the talking stage. However, keep reading

Where Are The New Toll Gates?

The first of the new toll gates will be located at the Business Bay Crossing on Al Khail Road. If you
regularly commute in this area, this new addition may impact your travel costs. The second gate, called
the Al Safa South Toll Gate, will be set up on Sheikh Zayed Road, between Al Meydan and Umm Al Sheif
Streets. These new locations are part of the ongoing efforts to manage traffic flow and maintain road
infrastructure in Dubai.

Paying Only Once At Safa Gates

Here’s a bit of good news to soften the blow – If you pass through both the Safa North and South toll
gates within a one-hour window, you’ll only be charged once. This rule already applies to the existing Al
Mamzar gates, so if you’re familiar with that setup, you’ll know what to expect.
