Crackdown on illegally parked heavy vehicles in Musaffah

Abu Dhabi: The Municipality of Abu Dhabi City has called on the owners of trucks and heavy machinery to help preserve the overall appearance of the city and protect the environment by not leaving their trucks, buses and heavy equipment unattended in public places and by parking them in designated areas in Musaffah Industrial Area, M.18.

In a statement, the municipality said a campaign targeting the area aims to combat environmental pollution caused by the randomly parked trucks, buses and heavy machinery. Unattended vehicles obstruct traffic and the movement of pedestrians, the municipality said, as well as cause damage to pavements and other infrastructure.

The campaign, which covers several areas and sectors in Musaffah Industrial Area, is part of the municipality’s ongoing efforts to maintain a decent image of the emirate and a clean environment.

So far, 71 warnings have been served on the owners of violating vehicles as part of the campaign. Continuation of the violation during the grace period given will result in vehicle impoundment and legal action.
