Dubai Police issues summer parking advisory

As temperatures rise, Dubai Police reminded motorists to take precautions when parking vehicles outdoors.

“When parking your vehicle, try to choose a shaded area and use sunshades to minimise heat buildup inside,” Dubai Police said in a road safety advisory.

Motorists are also encouraged to check their vehicles regularly, avoid leaving children or valuables inside parked cars, and follow safety measures during the summer heat.
