Dubai transport authorities have announced an increase in Salik toll charges by Dh2 during the morning peak hours on the Dubai T100 race day. Normally, Salik fees on Sundays between 6am and 10am are Dh4. However, to manage the expected high traffic volumes on the race day, the charge will rise to Dh6.
Why the Increase?
The T100 race attracts numerous visitors and participants, leading to increased road usage across the city. The temporary toll fee adjustment is intended to:
- Encourage the use of public transport
- Reduce traffic congestion during the event
- Support efficient traffic management
Important Information for Drivers
Drivers in Dubai should plan their travel accordingly to avoid delays or unexpected fines. Key points to keep in mind include:
- The Salik system is an electronic toll collection mechanism that automatically deducts fees when vehicles pass certain toll gates.
- The Dh2 additional charge applies only during morning peak hours (6am to 10am) on the T100 race day.
- This is a short-term change specific to the event and does not affect toll charges on other days.
- Residents and visitors are advised to explore alternative routes and public transport options available on the race day.
Dubai’s Commitment
Dubai continues to prioritize smooth transportation flow and public safety through such measures. The increased Salik charges are part of broader efforts to manage traffic efficiently during large-scale events.
