Dubai initially had two toll gates aka SALIK – one each on Shaikh Zayed Road near the Mall of the Emirates (Al Barsha) and Shaikh Rashid Road on Al Garhoud. Later RTA installed two more, one each, on Al Maktoum Bridge and Shaikh Zayed Road between the First and Second Interchanges.

A motorist is charged Dh4 for passing through Salik gate every time. There is a maximum charge of Dh24 per day.

One of the proposed locations to have a Salik toll gate is Al Ittihad Road near Dubai Police headquarters and second location is in Al Ghusais, a senior official admitted that locations are identified but approx time frame is yet to be announced.
