This toll-free route is slower but worth it
For Olga Sukhanova – founder of COLABB, who regularly drives across the city for errands and meetings, time is often more valuable than the toll fees.
“I generally accept the rules of the game, saving time is often worth the cost. That said, I’ve definitely had a few moments where I forgot to top up my Salik account and ended up with a Dh50 fine for late payment, which can be frustrating,” she said.
“When I’m not in a rush, I take the scenic route down Jumeirah Beach Road, it’s toll-free and a much more pleasant drive.” While Jumeirah Beach Road may have more traffic lights and lower speed limits, drivers who don’t mind a slower pace can enjoy scenic views of the coastline. The D94 route offers a toll-free alternative that is both pleasant and a little picturesque.
