Financing of a Toll Road in Dubai
The Salik Toll Collection System uses state-of-the-art technology for a smooth operation of traffic processes. For example, there are no stationary toll gates to hamper the traffic flow, thereby enabling traffic to pass through without interruption. In this connection Radio Frequence Identification (RFID) technology is employed to ensure an automated payment process. The Salik Toll Collection System is operated within the city boundary of Dubai on the Sheikh Zayed Road, which begins on the border with Saudi Arabia and passes Abu Dhabi via Dubai and Sharjah to Ras Al Khaimah.
RTA is responsible for the planning and provision of all services in the field of transport, road construction and traffic in Dubai as well as the region between Dubai and other neighbouring emirates of the UAE. The strategic aim is to provide an efficient and integrated transport system in order to support the long-term goals of Dubai on a sustainable basis.
