The Darb toll gate system will also be free of charge during the holiday starting from Thursday. Toll gate fees will be reactivated after the Eid break, during peak hours (from 0700 to 0900 and from 1700 to 1900).

The ITC has called on drivers to avoid parking in prohibited areas and in residential spaces from 2100 to 0800.
