Dubai motorists to see revised Salik toll rates during triathlon weekend.
Dubai: Motorists passing through Salik toll gates on Sunday, November 15, will face revised toll rates as the city hosts the Dubai T100 Triathlon.
Salik announced the temporary changes in a post on its official Instagram account.
Under Dubai’s usual Sunday toll schedule, motorists pay a flat rate of Dh4 per crossing, or Dh4.20 including VAT, with no separate peak and off-peak periods. However, variable pricing will apply this Sunday, with higher charges during the morning rush.
From 6am to 10am, motorists will pay the peak rate of Dh6 per crossing. The evening period, from 4pm to 8pm, will carry a lower rate of Dh4, compared with the Dh6 charged during weekday evening peak hours.
During low-peak periods, from 10am to 4pm and 8pm to 1am, the toll will be Dh4 per crossing. Travel between 1am and 6am will remain free.
Salik also confirmed that 5 per cent VAT applies to all toll transactions. This means a Dh6 crossing will cost Dh6.30, while a Dh4 crossing will cost Dh4.20.
Under the regular Monday-to-Saturday schedule, motorists pay Dh6 during morning and evening peak hours, from 6am to 10am and 4pm to 8pm, and Dh4 during low-peak periods.
Salik introduced the variable pricing system on January 31, 2025, replacing the previous flat rate of Dh4 per crossing throughout the day.
The company has introduced similar adjustments for other major events in Dubai. Earlier this month, variable toll rates were applied on Sunday, November 1, during Dubai Ride, when Sheikh Zayed Road was closed to regular traffic and turned into a cycling route.
Dubai Ride was part of the opening weekend of the Dubai Fitness Challenge, which runs until November 29.
Motorists planning to travel on Sunday are advised to check the revised toll timings before setting out.
