Abu Dhabi: Dh500 fine for illegally stopping before Darb toll gates, blocking traffic
Abu Dhabi Police reminded motorists against the dangerous behaviour of stopping before approaching Darb gates to avoid paying toll fees. They noted that such illegal stopping and blocking the flow of traffic carries a fine of Dh500. In a video shared by Abu Dhabi Police 's Directorate of Traffic and Security Patrols on Friday, several drivers were caught on camera stopping few minutes before crossing Darb toll gates. They only moved when the toll gate was free of charge.

Vehicles passing any of the toll gates are charged Dh4 for each transaction between 7am and 9am, and 5pm and 7pm only. Toll is fee for the rest of the day and on Sundays and official holidays. #أخبارÙ�ا | #شرطة_أبÙ�ظبÙ� Ø°ØØ°Ù�ر Ù�Ù� اÙ�سÙ�Ù�Ù�Ù�اذ اÙ�خطرة عÙ�د بÙ�ابة "درب" Ù�Ù�ذعرÙ�Ø© اÙ�Ù�رÙ�رÙ�Ø©. اÙ�Ø°Ù�اصÙ�Ù�: #بÙ�ابة_درب — شرطة أبÙ�ظبÙ� (@ADPoliceHQ) June 27, 2025 Authorities noted they caught some drivers 'unjustifiably stopping on the road shoulder while waiting for the toll-free period to begin — a practice that endangers road users and disrupts the flow of traffic.'
