Salik to build two new toll gates in Dubai to optimise traffic flow, further contributing to growth

The two new gates are expected to assist in reducing traffic congestion by up to 15% on Al Khail Road, to reduce traffic volume by up to 16% on Al Rabat Street and reduce right-turn traffic volume from Sheikh Zayed Road to Meydan Street by up to 15%.           Dubai, UAE: Salik Company PJSC (“Salik” or the “Company”), Dubai’s exclusive toll gate operator, has announced that the Roads and Transport Authority (“RTA”), has formally assigned Salik to install two new toll gates to optimise traffic flow and reduce congestion on key routes within Dubai.   The two new gates will be located at Business Bay Crossing on Al Khail Road, and Al Safa South on Sheikh Zayed Road between Al Meydan Street and Umm Al Sheif Street. The two locations have been selected based on extensive traffic movement studies by the RTA. Their objective is to manage traffic distribution and reduce congestion by rerouting some traffic to alternative routes with greater capacity, facilitating smoother and more efficient travel for all motorists in Dubai.    With expected commencement of operations by November 2024, the new gates will increase Salik’s total number of toll gates in Dubai from eight
