Ramadan in UAE: Dh500 traffic fine for parking on roadside for prayers

Abu Dhabi - Such behaviour affects the movement of traffic and could potentially lead to traffic accidents, the authority said.

Abu Dhabi Police has issued a fresh advisory, warning drivers against the dangers of parking on either side of the road.

The authority took to social media on Friday with the reminder after noting that truck and bus drivers tended to engage in the practice in order to perform prayers.

However, parking on the side of the road is a violation as it poses a threat to the safety of other motorists on the road, said the force.
