Abu Dhabi Police Warns Drivers Misusing Darb Toll Timing

Abu Dhabi Police is cracking down on drivers misusing the Darb toll system by stopping on road shoulders near toll gates to avoid paying fees. In a recent alert, the Directorate of Traffic and Security Patrols reminded motorists that stopping on the shoulder is strictly prohibited, unless it's an emergency.

Thanks to smart surveillance systems, officers have caught several drivers pulling over just before the toll gates and waiting until the toll-free period begins. This behavior isn’t just sneaky, it’s dangerous. It disrupts traffic, increases the risk of accidents, and puts other road users at risk.

In a video released by police, multiple vehicles were seen waiting minutes before the gates, only moving once the toll window opened. Authorities are using this footage to raise awareness and highlight the dangers of this tactic.

What Else Are Drivers Doing Wrong?

In addition to stopping near toll gates, Abu Dhabi Police flagged several other risky behaviors:

  • Sudden lane changes, especially near toll zones
  • Blocking traffic by stopping in unauthorized areas
  • Entering bus stops meant for public transport

One particularly dangerous offense is sudden swerving, which can lead to serious accidents. The penalty? AED 1,000 and 4 black points on your license.
