  2. Al Safa South Gate
    Located between Al Meydan Street and Umm Al Sheif Street on Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Safa South gate will ease congestion for drivers heading toward Meydan Street and Financial Center Street. The gate will help redistribute traffic onto First Al Khail Street and Al Asayel Street, with an expected 15% reduction in traffic turning right from Sheikh Zayed Road to Meydan Street.

Will Prices Change According To Dynamic Pricing?

Although there were recent rumours about potential changes in toll pricing based on peak and off-peak times, Salik confirmed that no such plans are in place. Each crossing through any of the toll gates in Dubai will continue to be AED 4, with no dynamic pricing scheduled. Any potential adjustments in toll fees would require the approval of the Dubai RTA and the Executive Council.

Will There Be More Toll Gates In The Future?

As for future toll gates, Al Haddad clarified that while there’s no fixed schedule, additional tolls could be introduced depending on future studies of traffic flow and congestion.

So make sure your Salik tags are fully charged!
