Parking in the UAE’s capital will be free all day on New Year’s Day.
Residents can park for free from midnight on Sunday, January 1 until 8am on Monday, January 2, reported The National.
New Year’s Day will be a holiday for all federal ministries and departments, as well as the private sector. Official work will resume on Monday, January 2, it was announced last week, the report said.
The Integrated Transport Center at the Department of Municipal Affairs and Transport reminded motorists to park legally and not block in other vehicles or disrupt traffic.
Drivers also reportedly need to obey regulations for residents-only parking, which will operate between 9 pm and 8 am, the center said.
Customer care centers across the city will be closed on January 1, the report said.
