The Recent Crackdowns In The Capital Aim To Clear Up Bahrain’s Streets
Throughout last year, Bahrain’s authorities took significant action to address the growing issue of unlicensed street stalls and carts obstructing public space, seizing over 2,200 carts across the Capital Governorate.
The objective is to enhance public safety and accessibility
The primary objective behind these inspections was to clear pavements and public roads, ensuring they remain accessible and safe for pedestrians. Unlicensed food vendors, in particular, also raised health and hygiene concerns, prompting the need for stricter enforcement of the 2019 law on public road use.
Enacted in 2019, this legislation prohibits unlicensed vendors from operating on pavements and junctions, also allowing authorities to conduct inspections and seize unauthorized stalls.
This doesn’t mean the end!
Authorities are still urging all these vendors to utilize licensed channels for their businesses – making sure they can operate legally, following safety standards, and contributing to a more organised environment for all.
