Registration charges per vehicle will be AED 100, of which AED50 will be the car owner’s credit. The remaining half will be the fee for car registration for the toll system.
Authorities aim that the soon-to-be-launched toll gate system will enhance road traffic flow, increase the efficiency of the emirate’s transport sector, and encourage residents to use alternative means for transport in the months to come.
