Dubai to Initiate Variable Salik Toll Rates and Parking Prices in 2025

By the end of January 2025, Dubai’s Road and Transport Authority (RTA) is all set to bring in Variable Road Toll Pricing and Variable Parking Tariff Policies (which also include event-specific parking tariffs). These policies are coming in as a solid strategy to improve the traffic flow in the city.
