Have you ever received a parking fine in Dubai and found yourself questioning why you were penalised? You believed no rules were broken, but can you be absolutely certain?
Dubai's Road and Transport Authority enforces strict parking rules and imposes fines on violators. Haphazard or illegal parking can obstruct traffic flow for vehicles and pedestrians and may block access to fire hydrants. It is important to be aware of these parking rules to prevent incurring unnecessary charges.
