Dubai: The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has produced a list of vehicles that require a special installation for Salik tags which will be operational on Sunday, July 1.
The RTA also advised motorists to go through the details attached with the Salik welcome kit and read the instructions to install the tag on the car windshield, or they can go to the website www.salik.ae or call 800-72545.
Salah Mohammad Al Marzouqi, Deputy Director of the Traffic Department and Intelligent Traffic Systems' Manager, said motorcycles are not exempt from the toll fees.
Motorcyclists should apply the tags to the motorcycle's front windshield if there is one. If not, they should subscribe in the same way as other motorists.
Cameras on the toll gates will scan the bike's registration number and deduct the fees accordingly.
Motorists who use Shaikh Zayed Road where the toll gates are located and Garhoud Bridge must apply for and buy the Salik welcome kit containing the Salik windshield tag from petrol stations (Eppco, Enoc, Emarat) and branches of Dubai Islamic Bank and Emirates Bank.
