Motorists in Abu Dhabi to pay parking fee from July 1

Motorists in Abu Dhabi will pay Mawaqif parking fees from July 1, Abu Dhabi’s Integrated Transport Centre (ITC) tweeted.

The ITC urged the drivers to use electronic payment methods to pay the fees via mobile phones or the Darb application.

This directive came post a three-month suspension period during which drivers were exempted from paying any fee, in light of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
