Abu Dhabi: The Integrated Transport Centre (ITC) at the Department of Municipalities and Transport in Abu Dhabi called for observing the rules governing the use of public parking (Mawaqif) at all times and places. It urged motorists to avoid parking in prohibited areas, and park properly in permitted places. It stressed that streamlining and managing parking spaces would have multiple benefits for traffic, community, economy and the environment such as ensuring the optimal use of the existing parking, reducing the time of searching for parking slots, eliminating casual parking practices, streamlining the traffic flow and improving the security and safety of roads.
Despite the recent exemption of parking fees until further notice to ease the burden on community members during the current exceptional circumstances, some motorists still misuse the parking service by casual practices such as parking behind vehicles, double parking, parking on fire hydrants, and parking in slots designated for vehicles of people of determination. Such practices block the traffic movement, trigger accidents, put the life of people at risk and distort the urban appearance of the city. ITC calls on parking users to ensure that priorities are respected and avoid undermining the rights of entitled users such as holders of residential parking permits. Parking inspectors are active in all parking areas to ensure compliance with Mawaqif regulations.
ITC renews the call for noncompliant motorists to abide by parking regulations applicable in Abu Dhabi, ensure orderly parking in permitted places, and display a sense of responsibility toward others besides avoiding fines. It urged them to support ITC’s efforts towards supporting the concept of joint responsibility for serving residents and the public interest.
