Dubai: The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is considering installing a Salik gate on Emirates Road, Arabic daily Al Bayan reported on Monday.

The report said indicators of the general budget for Dubai for 2010 expect the RTA to increase Salik revenues by introducing a new Salik gate on Emirates Road.

This was discussed at a meeting of the Dubai general budget committee for 2010.

Motorists have to pay Dh4 when crossing a Salik toll gate. Currently, there are four gates on Al Garhoud and Al Maktoum bridges, Shaikh Zayed Road near Safa interchange and Mall of the Emirates.
