The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched a new permit system that allows parking shades to be installed in residential neighbourhoods. Where Parking Shades Are AllowedThe permit applies only to designated and properly reserved parking spaces in residential areas. Safety Comes FirstThe RTA laid down strict guidelines to make sure parking shades don’t mess with daily movement or traffic flow. With summer heat getting harsher and more cars filling residential areas, the demand for shaded parking has been growing fast. The RTA says the new permit system is designed to improve quality of life while protecting Dubai’s signature look.
