UAE Transport Guides: Traffic Fines, Salik, Nol Card, Parking and Driving Licences Explained

Transport in the UAE runs on federal traffic law, but every emirate handles its own enforcement, paid parking, public transport and vehicle services. A driver in Dubai deals with Dubai Police and the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). Abu Dhabi licences and vehicle registrations go through Abu Dhabi Police and TAMM, and the other emirates mostly use the Ministry of Interior (MOI) app and Emirates Vehicle Gate (EVG).

This section brings the practical guides together in one place: traffic fine lists and checks for every emirate, black points and how to remove them, how to dispute a fine, Salik tolls and recharge, parking fines, the nol card, the Dubai Metro map, driving licence checks and vehicle registration renewal. Each guide is built on official sources such as the RTA, the MOI, Salik and Dubai Police.

Fines, toll prices and campaigns change from time to time, so always confirm the final amount on the official app before you pay. If you received a fine, start with the guide for the emirate that issued it. Penalties that are not about driving, such as labour, visa or health insurance fines, are in our Fines and Violations section.
