Abu Dhabi introduces two new Darb toll gates

Starting May 4, two new Darb toll gates will operate on the streets of Abu Dhabi, the Integrated Transport Centre (ITC) announced on Wednesday.

The additions include the Al Qurm Toll Gate at the entrance and exit of Sheikh Zayed Street, and the Al Ghantoot Toll Gate on Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid Street in Al Ghantoot. 

Placed in collaboration with Q-Mobility, the two new gates will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with a charge of AED 4 per crossing. 

The ITC added that the exemption policy continues for one vehicle per senior citizen, People of Determination, low-income citizens, and retired citizens.

It also confirmed that the selection of the two gate locations was based on specialised traffic studies that accounted for the traffic density, mobility patterns, and the availability of alternative roads in their vicinity. 

Drivers planning to avoid the Al Qurm Toll Gate can use Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Street or Arabian Gulf Street, while road users can opt for the Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Street instead of passing by the Al Ghantoot Toll Gate. 

The additions were also developed in efforts to enhance traffic flow on main roads, improve the efficiency of road network usage, and reduce congestion, particularly during peak hours.
