Abu Dhabi Police warns drivers misusing Darb Toll timing; reminds motorists of Dh500 fine for disrupting traffic
Abu Dhabi Police reminded motorists to refrain from stopping on road shoulders, especially near the 'Darb' toll gates, except in case of an emergency. This reminder came after instances of violations were detected through advanced smart surveillance systems. The concerned authorities asserted that the act of stopping illegally and blocking the flow of traffic can attract a fine of Dh500. This move comes after the Directorate of Traffic and Security Patrols at Abu Dhabi Police noticed that drivers are intentionally pulling over on the shoulder just before the toll gates, waiting for the toll-free period to start, according to Gulf News. This act increases the chances of endangering the lives of people on the road and disrupts traffic flow. Abu Dhabi Police shared a video on Friday, June 27, 2025, in which several drivers were caught stopping a few minutes before crossing the toll gate and only moving after the toll-free period began. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Join new Free to Play WWII MMO War Thunder War Thunder Play Now Undo — ADPoliceHQ (@ADPoliceHQ) The Darb toll gate system was implemented in January 2021 to minimise the traffic congestion in Abu Dhabi and to encourage the use of public transport.
