About The System
Seamless Travel with RFID Technology
Dubai's toll system, known as Salik, is designed to keep traffic moving. There are no toll booths, no barriers, and no need to stop. The system utilizes advanced Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology.
A small tag attached to your vehicle's windshield is automatically scanned as you pass under a toll gate, deducting the fee from your prepaid account instantly. This ensures continuous flow on Dubai's busiest highways.
