Do you drive around Dubai? Big news! This November, two new Salik toll gates are being added to major roads,
increasing the total from eight to ten.

At the beginning of this year, Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority or RTA assigned Salik Company PJSC, the
Emirate’s exclusive tollgate operator, to install two new gates located at Business Bay Crossing on Al Khail Road and Al
Safa South on Sheikh Zayed Road between Al Meydan Street and Umm Al Sheif Street.

According to RTA, the two new Salik toll gates are strategically placed based on detailed traffic analysis. RTA aims to
reroute some traffic to alternative routes, effectively managing flow and reducing congestion.

The two new Salik toll gates are set to start operating by November 2024.

Expectations: Reducing traffic congestion

RTA expects the two Salik gates to improve traffic congestion once they start to operate.

The Authority expects the Business Bay Crossing toll gate to improve traffic congestion by 12 to 15 percent on Al Khail
Road, reduce traffic volume by 10 to 16 percent on Al Rabat Street, and redistribute traffic to Al Maktoum and Al
Garhoud bridges as well as in Ras Al Khor Street.

Meanwhile, the Al Safa South toll gate is expected to reduce 15 percent right-turn traffic volume from Sheik Zayed Road
to Maydan Street. It is also expected to optimize traffic flow on the Financial Centre, First Al Khail, and Al Asayel
streets.
