Starting today, January 31, Dubai will implement the variable toll system for Salik. According to Salik Company, the new pricing will apply to all Salik gates. The initiative aims to improve traffic flow and create a more efficient driving experience for motorists.

However, there will be no change to the current toll system at Al Safa North and South or Al Mamzar North and South gates. Drivers passing through these gates in the same direction within one hour will still only incur a single charge.

The new variable toll rates will be applied daily throughout the year, except during Ramadan, as follows:

• Peak Hours (6am–10am & 4pm–8pm): Dh6 per crossing
• Off-Peak Hours (10am–4pm & 8pm–1am): Dh4 per crossing
• Late Night (1am–6am, daily): No charge
• Sundays (excluding public holidays and events): Dh4 across both peak and off-peak hours (late night hours remain free)

During Ramadan, the toll schedule will be adjusted to reflect changes in travel patterns:

• Peak Hours (9am–5pm): Dh6 per crossing
• Off-Peak Hours (7am–9am & 5pm–2am): Dh4 per crossing
• Late Night (2am–7am): No charge
