11/15/23, 5:15 PM Dubai: Are new Salik gates being planned to manage increasing traffic?
“Today, all I can say about the new gates is that the city
has the need to bring more measures (for traffic
management) and one of them is a new gate. We are
having a discussion with RTA and this can be a very
detailed discussion of when and where. However, it is a
mandate of the RTA because it is one of the traffic
management tools of the city. The government will
make a final decision on it,”
Al Haddad said during the interview.
Traffic growth revised upward
Dubai’s roads have been witnessing a steady increase in traffic since the pandemic as
more companies and people flock to the city, attracted by its high quality of life, top-
class infrastructure, safety, and better opportunities. This prompted Salik Company to
revise its traffic growth forecast for this year.
“Traffic is growing and we changed our traffic growth
guidance for investors from 5-6 per cent forecast to 9-
10 per cent for this year after the first half of 2023
numbers. We are communicating to the market that
growth was exceeding our expectations,”
he explained.
