The DARB Toll Gate System is a very significant transportation project in Abu Dhabi. When business in Abu Dhabi began to expand, the volume of traffic also increased. It became very necessary for UAE authorities to develop a system to reduce traffic flow so that a more efficient and pleasant atmosphere can be created. To achieve this, the Abu Dhabi Toll Gate darb was designed and implemented. Another aim behind the creation of DARB was to encourage the utilization of public transport. It was Instituted under Law No. (17) of 2017 on Road Tolls. It was sanctioned by the late Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. What is the DARB Toll Gate System? The DARB Toll Gate System in Abu Dhabi is similar to Dubai’s Salik. It works like a self-paying toll booth for cars. It charges vehicles when they pass through specific toll gates. These gates are located on important Abu Dhabi bridges such as:
Al Maqtaa Bridge Mussafah Bridge Sheikh Zayed Bridge Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Bridge Every car entering the city must go through this registration process.
