Dubai expands parking management to ease traffic and offer more convenience to motorists
Dubai: Parkin, Dubai’s public parking operator, has announced the introduction of new paid parking areas in Al Jaddaf, in line with the emirate’s peak and off-peak tariff system aimed at improving parking availability and traffic flow.
Revealed on August 31, the new designations include Zone 326C (on-street) and Zone 326D (off-street). Hourly charges will vary depending on peak and non-peak timings.
The move is part of Dubai’s broader efforts to streamline parking management across busy neighbourhoods and provide more convenient options for motorists.
Clear signboards have been installed to indicate the designated areas, the operator Parkin said on its social media handle.
Tariff 326D (Mon–Sat, 8am–10pm): Dh4 per hour in peak hours and Dh2 in non-peak, up to Dh20 for 24-hour parking.
Tariff 326C (Mon–Sat, 8am–10pm): Dh4 per hour in peak hours and Dh2 in non-peak, up to Dh16 for four hours.
Parking will continue to be free on Sundays and public holidays, giving residents and visitors added flexibility.
Alongside the new zones, Parkin offers a variety of subscriptions to help regular drivers save money, avoid fines, and better manage monthly costs. These cover roadside, plot, multistorey, and residential areas, all available via parkin.ae.
