Salik (In Arabic: سالك meaning "clear and moving") is the name given to the electronic toll road system in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, which is based on RFID technology, automatically deducting a fee when a toll gate is passed under. The Salik toll was launched by Dubai's Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) on 1 July 2007. Motorists are required to buy a 100 AED pre-paid card that is affixed to their windscreens. 4 AED ($1.08) is deducted from their account each time they pass through a toll gate. Initially, there were two toll gates, one near Al Garhoud Bridge, and one near Mall of the Emirates on Sheikh Zayed Road, but later in September 2008 two more gates were installed on Maktoum Bridge and at Safa. A further pair of gates was installed on Ittihad Road, the principal route from Dubai to neighbouring Sharjah and by the Dubai Airport Tunnel. The maximum charge per day per car using the tolled roads will be 24 AED ($6.48) However, as of July 1, 2013 this has been scrapped and there is no longer an upper limit that vehicles will be charged. Alternative routes include Business Bay Crossing, Floating Bridge (close to Al Maktoum Bridge; connects Al Ittihad Road (in Deira) with Al Riyadh Street (in Bur Dubai)), Al Khail Road, and Sheikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Road. ==Extensions of Salik== On 9 September 2008, two more SALIK gates were instituted, one at Safa Park and another at Al Maktoum Bridge. The Roads and Transport Authority of Dubai (RTA) explained how the new gates will work in conjunction with existing gates. Once a motorist passes through Al Barsha toll gate, he will be charged Dh4. But if he continues his journey, does not take a right or left turn or does not get stuck in traffic and passes though the Al Safa toll gate, he will not be charged. But if the motorist continues his journey and passes through the Al Maktoum toll gate, he will again be charged Dh4. Moreover, if the motorist, during the same journey, lastly passes through the Al Garhoud toll gate, he will again be charged Dh4. The Al Safa toll gate will be free of charge if the motorist is on a single continuous journey. RTA also cleared that if a motorist passes through, for example, the Al Safa gate and then makes an exit from the Shaikh Zayed Road and again crosses another toll gate, he will have to pay an additional SALIK fee, but if he continues on the same trip and crosses the Al Barsha toll gate, only Dh4 will be deducted. The Al Maktoum Bridge toll gate is free when the Floating Bridge is closed for traffic to ease the process for motorists. SALIK gates were subsequently installed at two additional locations, one at Al Mamzar Bridge and another one at the Dubai Airport Tunnel. These were activated on 15 April 2013. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Salik (road toll)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
