Residents are moving to other locations ahead of the paid parking system in Dubai’s community
Residents of Dubai’s Al Khail Gate community are moving to other locations ahead of the paid parking system that comes into effect from June 17.
The residents of the locality said that the paid parking has added to their expenses which they are unable to afford. Those relocating are mostly families owning two cars and more.
The residents of Al Khail Gate have been reeling under parking problems for long. Finding parking spaces after 8:00pm was a tough challenge for the residents.

Sometimes they would have to park their cars several blocks away from their home. Other times they ended up getting fined for wrong parking.
In response to the issue, Road and Transport Authority (RTA) took over the management and operations of the parking in April.
According to the RTA, the parking has been classified into different zones designated by clearly displayed signs as per the needs of the community. Some parking spaces will be allocated to residents only, and others will be available for visitors
“These parking lots will be subject to tariff 24/7 once taken over by the RTA in the second quarter of 2018.
The fee will be Dh4 per hour and a maximum daily fee of Dh32 per 24 hours. Seasonal parking permits will be provided to residents at different rates, depending on the validity of the permit. Permits on offer include Dh2,500 per annum, Dh1,500 per six months, and Dh1,000 per three months. Permits will enable residents to use the entire parking zones, be it for residents or visitors,” RTA added.
