A traffic toll system will soon be introduced in Abu Dhabi to ease traffic on roads.
According to a decree issued by the President, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Abu Dhabi's Department of Transport (DoT) will be responsible for implementing the decree.
The department will determine areas to set up the toll gates, its timings and toll fees. The decree came into effect from December 31 last year, when it was published in the Official Gazette. The DoT will submit its recommendations to the Abu Dhabi Executive Council for approval.
Law No. 17 of 2017 states that the DoT's Integrated Transport Centre's toll system will monitor every vehicle that passes through the designated tolled areas. The DoT will collect the toll fees.
The fifth article of the decree states: "Car owners should register in the new toll system and follow the rules and regulations specified by the DoT prior to passing through the tolled areas."
Ambulances, Armed Forces and Civil Defence vehicles, public buses and motorcycles will be exempted from the toll system. The law points out that any other vehicle recommended for exemption by the DoT will not be charged tariff.
The law also prohibits evasion of the toll by concealing the licence plate or by any other means. The Integrated Transport Centre will refer such cases to the general command for necessary action.
If a person is found guilty of toll evasion, a fine not exceeding Dh10,000 will be imposed on the violator. The total fines should not exceed Dh25,000 one year after the first offence. The centre will be responsible to form a committee to handle toll violators.
