Why the Change?
The purpose of Parkin is to minimize traffic congestion in popular destinations while advancing smooth traffic operations especially around big events. Parkin had implemented Dh25 per hour premiums for exhibition center proximity spots during large-scale events.
Dubai implements these policy changes to achieve better parking management in line with its fast urban growth and expanding population.
