Dubai: Parking will be free in paid-parking zones of Dubai on Thursday, which is a public holiday to mark the birthday of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).
Engineer Najeeb Al Zarouni, Director of Parking Department at the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), said the decision to exempt public from parking fees on Thursday is in line with the strategy of the RTA to interact with the community in all events.
He said motorists should observe RTA directives and not misuse parking rules as fines could be imposed for illegal parking, double parking or blocking traffic.
