Dubai's toll gate operator Salik has announced revised toll charges for Sunday, November 15, in line with the Dubai T100 Triathlon, with rates varying according to peak, low-peak and off-peak hours.

Toll rates on November 15 will be Dh6 during peak hours (6am to 10am and 4pm to 8pm), compared with the usual Dh4 charged on Sundays. Low-peak hour rates (10am to 4pm) will remain at Dh4, while no toll is charged from 1am to 6am. A 5 per cent value-added tax (VAT) applies to all toll transactions.

Motorists are advised to take note of the applicable toll timings when planning their journeys on Sunday.

Salik revises its variable toll rates every year during the T100 Triathlon. The annual event features a 2km swim, 80km bike ride and 18km run, the same distances covered by professional athletes in the T100 Triathlon World Tour. This year the triathlon takes place from November 13 to 15, coinciding with the Dubai Fitness Challenge, and also serves as a qualifier for the Qatar T100 World Championship Finals.
