The new gates expected to be operational by November 2024
Salik Company, Dubai’s exclusive toll gate operator, has announced that the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), has formally assigned Salik to install two new toll gates to optimize traffic flow and reduce congestion on key routes within Dubai.
The two new gates will be 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. The two locations have been selected based on extensive traffic movement studies by the RTA.
Managing traffic
Their objective is to manage traffic distribution and reduce congestion by rerouting some traffic to alternative routes with greater capacity, facilitating smoother and more efficient travel for all motorists in Dubai.
With expected commencement of operations by November 2024, the new gates will increase Salik’s total number of toll gates in Dubai from eight to ten.
“Salik Company directly supporting RTA’s objective to optimize travel time and alleviate traffic congestion, and these two new gates aim to improve overall mobility throughout the city, facilitating smoother and more efficient travel for road users,” remarked Ibrahim Sultan Al Haddad, CEO, Salik Company
