Salik, Dubai's barrier-free RFID road-toll system (running since 2007), switched to dynamic congestion pricing on 31 January 2025: crossings cost AED 6 during 6–10am and 4–8pm peaks, AED 4 off-peak, and are free from 1–6am. Two gates opened in November 2024 (Business Bay Crossing, Al Safa South), bringing the network to ten.
