The toll gate at Garhoud Bridge, Sharjah direction, was installed and is scheduled to be activated July 1.
RTA is currently installing the second toll gate at Garhoud Bridge, Dubai direction, to be followed by the installation of the toll gates near the Mall of the Emirates. Eng. Maitha emphasized that RTA is seeking to finalize installation of the toll gates by this month and these will be tested in order to ensure successful implementation. Eng. Maitha also confirmed that tag sales will begin this week.
The system will be able to deduct the necessary value from the sensor cards every time a driver uses one of the city's electronic gates, Engineer Bin Adai, explained. The Salik system seeks to promote the use of alternative roads and transportation and reduce traffic flow to the emirate by encouraging car pooling and public transit.
Salik is part of the RTA's traffic management strategy to reduce pressure on Dubai's road infrastructure, particularly in the city's downtown and other heavily trafficked areas, and reduce noise and air pollution.
