Dubai: The variable toll system of Salik will take effect in Dubai today (January 31).
Salik Company said that the implementation of the variable toll pricing will be applicable across all Salik gates.
“This initiative is designed to optimise traffic flow and provide a more efficient road usage experience for all motorists,” it said.
The company said there will be no change to the charging method when passing through Al Safa North and South toll gates, and Al Mamzar North and South toll gates in one direction within one hour. This means that users will only be charged once.
