Wrong parking in residential areas will incur a fine up to Dh500, the Sharjah Municipality has warned. Meanwhile, the Sharjah Municipality has intensified an inspection and awareness campaign to put an end to the misuse of public parking in residential areas. Besides issuing the fines for violators, the municipality will oblige the violators to immediately rectify the situation.
