The parking system in Dubai is about to be easier than ever. The new sign installations in commercial and residential areas of the city are part of a plan to improve traffic and parking flow. New variable charges that will change in April will also help make parking easier for everyone, including tourists, to navigate.
To make public paid parking, Parkin has updated the zones permit codes. This makes it easier to remember the designated areas and will increase efficiency with no added short term costs. The set fees will not increase even though the charges will be more simple to comprehend, meaning there will not be any sudden price changes.

Dubai resident Saad Aqueel opted to tell the Khaleej Times his story, “I was not sure if my seasonal pass would work after the change in codes. I remember people appeared confused on Ittihad Road and because of this I paid for parking just in case.”\n\nAqueel who not too long ago spent Dh4,500 on his yearly pass is wishing that the seasonal passes do not get impacted with the newer changes and if they do that the impact will be minimal.
