Page 40 - SALIK PR REPORT - MARCH 2024

Dubai's Salik gates operate round-the-clock, unlike Abu Dhabi's Darb road

toll system, which only charges during peak morning and evening hours.
The Darb toll gate system is also free of charge during public holidays,
unlike Salik.

Salik fine

The recharged balance in Salik's accounts is not refundable nor
transferable. The balance will remain in the account for up to five years,
after which if the tag is inactive, the balance will be forfeited.

If your Salik account balance is insufficient and you pass through the toll

gate, the system will detect the lack of credit and prompt you to recharge.
It's important to recharge the account within the 5-day grace period from
the date of passing the gate without sufficient credit. From the sixth day, a
fine of Dh50 will be levied daily per vehicle.

If you drive through a toll gate in Dubai without a Salik tag, you have ten

days from your first trip to get one. If you miss this deadline, you will face
fines.

For the first time you use the toll gate after those ten days, you will be
penalised Dh100.

The second time you pass through a toll gate without a tag: Dh200 fine.
After that, a Dh400 fine each time you pass through a Salik gate.
