Dubai Salik, is it really worth it?

Dubai RTA (Road and Transport Association) has introduced a road toll (Salik) along Sheikh Zayed Rd starting today. Congestion has increased as a result, and it seems that the RTA has got wrong as all residents of Dubai have predicted. It is hard to avoid traffic around Dubai and if you decide to pay the fee and use the toll, you are not able to do so as there is no stock of the registration sticker any where to be seen. The RTA should have looked as alternatives before taking the decision to go ahead with the toll though it was very clear to everyone that it will cause a lot of disruption to so many drivers trying to do their business in Dubai.
