Salik Road Tolls

I don't know how effective the Salik road toll system will be. There are two toll control gateways that I have seen being assembled just after Garhoud bridge on Bur Dubai side. Fortunately they do not create any problem for me because I turn off just before the gateway. I don't understand why the put both on the far side of Garhoud bridge. I see how people are just going to go down the slip road to bypass the toll. I'm sure the back roads will be clogged.

I am halfway afraid that the police will set up a road block and will start to punish everybody for using the slip road. I am thinking about taking proof that I work in Creekside Park.

I think a more effective way would be to force Trucks and Commercial Vehicles to pay more tolls and let others be free, or if you have more than a 4 cylinder car then you pay. Like what they do in Europe based on the engine size. The reasoning stands that the more power the more luxury.
