Salik Company, Dubai's exclusive toll gate operator, will build two new toll gates at Business Bay Crossing and Al Safa South, increasing the total number of toll gates in the city from eight to ten. The new gates, expected to be operational by November 2024, aim to reduce traffic congestion and optimise traffic flow. According to traffic studies, the new gates could reduce traffic congestion by up to 15% on Al Khail Road, and traffic volume by up to 16% on Al Rabat Street. The addition of the new gates is part of Salik's growth plan and partnership with the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). Salik will oversee the construction, operation, and maintenance of the toll gates and hold the exclusive right to operate them until June 2071.
