Dubai Police Clamp Down On Illegal Parking At Mosques During Ramadan
Parking illegally near mosques? Dubai Police urges you to cut it out.
Major General Saif Muhair Al Mazrouei, Director of the General Department of Traffic at Dubai Police calls on drivers to follow traffic laws and avoid random parking in front of mosques during prayers in the last ten days of Ramadan. He said the unfortunate phenomenon of road closures in front of mosques due to worshippers’ vehicles, highly impacts road users, especially if the mosques are located in residential areas or close to the main road.
He emphasized that traffic patrols have been directed to increase their presence during prayer times in Ramadan around prayer grounds and mosques and to intensify enforcement measures against drivers who commit various violations. He further explained that some worshippers double park and block entire lanes, park in the middle of exits without consideration for other road users, or park on sidewalks.
How can you help?
Police encouraged the public to report improper traffic practices through the “We Are All Police” service by calling 901 or via the Dubai Police smart app.
