Abu Dhabi toll: Trial period until January 1, 2020

Department of Transport in Abu Dhabi announced that the Abu Dhabi Traffic Toll Gate System will commence on 15 Oct 2019 on a free of charge basis until 1 Jan 2020. This trial period will provide residents more time to plan the best travel times and explore transport alternatives.

“The system has been developed with the aim of reducing traffic congestion while limiting costs for residents. Once fees are implemented, senior citizens, retirees, martyrs’ family members, people of determination and low-income earners will be exempt, according to eligibility,” the DoT added.

Daily commuters will benefit from monthly caps on fees. Monthly caps for private vehicles will be Dh200 for the first vehicle, Dh150 for the second, and Dh100 for each additional vehicle, as well as a daily cap of Dh16 per vehicle, the department said.
