Dubai: The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched a campaign to spread awareness on the Toll System Salik.
The campaign is part of RTA's sustained efforts at enhancing awareness on Salik's principal objectives - effectively manage traffic and minimise congestion.
Maitha Obaid Bin Udai, CEO of the RTA's Roads and Traffic Agency, said: "Salik is one of several projects that the RTA is currently implementing to provide a world-class roads and transport infrastructure in Dubai. The new service, which will be launched in July 2007, will further strengthen RTA's commitment to implement cutting-edge traffic management solutions that will contribute to the use of alternative routes, and decrease pollution levels by reducing the number of cars on the roads and driving time."
