Motorists entering Abu Dhabi island from October 15 will be faced with new road tolls. Here's what drivers need to know with just ten days to go. The new tolls are a cashless system similar to the Salik system in Dubai, in which drivers are charged every time they travel through a designated point. Four toll gates are located on all bridges to Abu Dhabi island - Saadiyat, Maqta, Mussaffah and Sheikh Khalifa bridges. Drivers will be charged Dh4 during peak periods – 7am to 9am and 5pm to 7pm, Saturday to Thursday. A Dh2 off-peak fee applies outside these times, as well as on Fridays and public holidays. There is some good news for frequent users as maximum daily charges are capped at Dh16. Drivers with vehicles registered in Abu Dhabi before October 15 will be automatically registered without any charges. Users will receive a text message on their mobile with the account details. Any vehicle registered in Abu Dhabi after that date must be registered by the motorist who pays a charge of Dh100 - Dh50 fee and Dh50 to be credited to the account. Non-Abu Dhabi motorists must also pay a Dh100 charge to register. You must pay within five working days, and if you do not pay, you will receive a notice of a fine. Vehicles registered within the Emirate of Abu Dhabi do not have to have credit in their account and can pay at time of renewal of the vehicle. Vehicles from other emirates must be registered in order to avoid violations. Users must log onto <a href="https://itps.itc.gov.ae/">this website</a> and have their Emirates ID number and licence plate details to hand. They they can use their debit or credit cards to pay the tolls. But some have said they experienced difficulties registering online. Transport chiefs believe the move will cut congestion by six per cent during peak times and spur people to use public transport. It is also hoped to encourage people to carpooling and alternative modes of transport that are better for the environment. Some vehicles are exempt such as ambulances, buses, motorbikes, taxis and electric vehicles for two years from October 18. Visit the Department of Transport website or call 80088888
