In sharing celebrations of the blessed Eid al-Adha, the Public Transport Agency, Roads & Transport Authority (RTA), announced that RTA has decided to exempt the use of all paid parking zones across the Emirate of Dubai starting from Monday 9 Dhul Hajjah 1431H corresponding to 15 November 2010 and continue through the Eid holiday such that parking fees will be reactivated as of 14 Dhul Hajjah 1431H corresponding to 20 November 2010. Meanwhile, the parking space of Deira Fish Market will NOT be exempted during the said holiday period in order to provide parking spaces for visitors of the Market.
Mr/ Adel Al Marzooki, Director of Parking, Traffic & Roads Agency, said: “This step comes in the context of RTA attention to ensure smooth mobility of residents and visitors of Dubai during holidays and religious events; which in turn reflects the continuous care of the RTA for the public and demonstrates the sense of responsibility towards the visitors and inhabitants of the Emirate. No doubt it is a gesture that gives a practical demonstration of RTA vision of providing Safe & Smooth Transport for All through facilitating the means of mobility and the movement of motorists during official holidays and religious eventsâ€.
Meanwhile RTA calls on parking users in Dubai Emirate to properly use the parking lots; which are part of the infrastructure provided in the first place for the comfort of the public, including citizens, residents, visitors and tourists.
RTA also calls on motorists to avoid parking on road pavements, or behind parked vehicles; a practice which will trigger fines as provided for in the law against offenders.
On this happy occasion, RTA extends the best greetings & wishes to the Arabic & Islamic worlds and prays to Allah to mark the event with renewed prosperity and blessings.
