Sundays and public holidays remain blissfully toll-free. .@ad_mobility, part of @AbuDhabiDMT, has issued amendments to the Road Toll Executive Regulations in Abu Dhabi to ease traffic flow on main roads during peak hours, supporting sustainability in the transport sector and enhancing quality of life in the emirate. — مكتب أبوظبي الإعلامي (@ADMediaOffice) August 14, 2025 You might also like: All the fines, rules and laws announced in Abu Dhabi this year Here's the big one: the daily and monthly caps are gone.

Abu Dhabi to amend DARB toll rules from Sept.1, removing daily and monthly caps
The Integrated Transport Centre (Abu Dhabi Mobility), an affiliate of the Department of Municipalities and Transport, has announced amendments to the provisions of the Road Toll Executive Regulations in Abu Dhabi (DARB). This comes as part of its ongoing efforts to enhance traffic flow and reduce congestion on main roads during peak hours. The new amendments will come into effect starting Monday, 1 September 2025, introducing changes to the tariff schedule. The evening period will be revised to run from 3pm to 7pm, while the morning period will remain unchanged, from 7am to 9am, Monday through Saturday. Tariffs will continue to be free of charge on Sundays and official public holidays. The new amendments also remove the current daily and monthly toll caps for private vehicles. This means there will no longer be a maximum limit on the toll charges collected per vehicle each day (Dhs16) or each month (Dhs200, Dhs150, and Dhs100) for the first, second or third vehicle, or any additional vehicle after that. Under the updated rules, a fee of Dhs4 will apply each time a vehicle passes through a toll gate in the emirate. The existing exemption policy will continue for eligible groups, including People of Determination, low-income families, senior citizens, and retirees. Q Mobility, a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Developmental Holding Company (ADQ), will assume management and operation of Abu Dhabi's DARB toll system, working in coordination with the relevant authorities to implement the updates.
