One of the topics at UAE community blog that generates lots of comments is on the subject of toll roads. Among the concerns raised is that it would be logistical nightmare if toll booths are installed. And if some roads are tolled and others are not congestion will shift to the "free" roads (if your time has value they ain't free). Dubai has been considering tolls for the last year or so.
As it happens, lots of other cities besides Dubai are considering road pricing at this time.
Yes, there are multiple shameless links to the Emirates Economist above.

As GP said. The RTA probably think road tolls are a nice toy to play with though. And hey, the UAE sure could use a few bucks extra, right?

NY has 6 story undrground subway and so do the other cities subways and light rails which have been in place for years ... they didnt build them of people by killing road tolls
