Salik (road toll)

Salik (In Arabic: سالك meaning "clear and moving") is the name given to the electronic toll road system in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, which is based on RFID and ANPR technology, automatically deducting a fee when a vehicle passes under a toll gate. The Salik toll was launched by Dubai's Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) on 1 July 2007.

On the 5th of July 2022, Salik was established as a public joint stock company as Salik Company PJSC.

Motorists are required to buy a pre-paid tag for 100 AED (which includes 50 AED in toll balance) that is affixed to their windscreens. Initially, the system charged a flat rate of 4 AED per crossing. However, starting 31 January 2025, Salik introduced variable dynamic pricing based on the time of day, with charges ranging from being completely free during the night to 6 AED during peak traffic hours. Currently, Salik operates ten toll gates in Dubai.
