You might have to pay to use some UAE roads

Abu Dhabi - The proposals received by the Federal Authority for Land and Maritime Transport suggested bringing in place a traffic toll scheme on the federal roads.

The Federal Authority for Land and Maritime Transport announced on Monday that it is mulling over a proposal that aims to introduce a traffic toll scheme on federal roads.
The Authority, during a workshop titled 'Studying the federal legislative needs for land transport sector' it organized in Abu Dhabi, in which a number of local bodies took part, received some 34 proposals submitted by three government entities. The proposals aim to enhance and develop the land transport sector and meet all the legislative needs required for this sector in the country.
The proposals suggested bringing in place a traffic toll scheme on the federal roads, making amendments to the pertinent law, and expediting to promulgate the amended executive by law of the land transport law No (9) of 2011.
The proposals also suggest setting up a national board to oversee the international transport.
