ABU DHABI // Thousands of new parking spaces will be created in Abu Dhabi next year.
Mohammed Al Muhairi, general manager of the Mawaqif division at Abu Dhabi Department of Transport, said 5,000 parking spaces would be created, reported Al Ittihad, the Arabic-language sister paper of The National.
Mawaqif cancelled 12,655 of more than 500,000 violation tickets issued this year, 2.5 per cent of the total, Mr Al Muhairi said. Mawaqif received grievances about 3.5 per cent of tickets.
“The aim is to regulate, not to fine,” he said.
Mr Al Muhairi urged people to comply with parking laws to avoid fines and encouraged them to share suggestions to the department.
