This significant increase is meant to avoid congestion in this area and to grant its residents and visitors more convenience.”

Al Muhairi added that all illegally parked vehicles in the area will be subject to the law, noting that parking next to yellow and grey curbstones and in the middle of the road is strictly prohibited, as well as double parking. Illegal parking also includes parking vehicles on pedestrian walkways, across access points and fire hydrants.
