The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has identified two more roads in Dubai to install Salik toll gates, the Gulf News reported.

One of the proposed locations to have a Salik toll gate is Al Ittihad Road near Dubai Police headquarters and second location is in Al Ghusais, the newspaper quoted a senior official as saying.

However, the official also made it clear that so far no final decision has been taken to install the Salik toll gates.

"Though there is no immediate plan to have more Salik gates, we have already identified the locations to install more gates," he was reported as saying.

Dubai initially had two toll gates - one each on Shaikh Zayed Road near the Mall of the Emirates (Al Barsha) and Shaikh Rashid Road on Al Garhoud.

The RTA then installed two more, one each, on Al Maktoum Bridge and Shaikh Zayed Road between the First and Second Interchanges.

A motorist is charged Dh4 for passing through Salik gate every time. There is a maximum charge of Dh24 per day.
