Dubai: Dubai Municipality has warned residents not to leave vehicles unattended in public places during the summer holiday season, reminding motorists that abandoned or neglected vehicles can attract a Dh500 fine and spoil the city’s appearance.<\/p>
The municipality urged residents travelling abroad or leaving the emirate for extended periods to take preventive measures to protect their vehicles and avoid violations.<\/p>
Authorities recommended five key steps:<\/p>
Park only in designated and secure locations.
Avoid leaving vehicles in deserted or sandy areas.
Carry out regular vehicle maintenance.
Arrange for periodic cleaning.
Use protective car covers where appropriate.<\/p>
Dubai Municipality said vehicles left without maintenance or supervision for long periods can negatively affect the emirate’s clean and organised urban environment.<\/p>
Inspection teams operate throughout the year to identify abandoned vehicles on roads, public parking areas and open sandy spaces. Before a vehicle is removed, inspectors place a warning notice giving owners between three and 15 days to move it, depending on its condition and location.<\/p>
Owners of vehicles registered in Dubai also receive an SMS notification through the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) database before further action is taken.<\/p>
Officials stressed that maintaining Dubai’s appearance is a shared responsibility and urged residents to comply with municipal regulations during the holiday season.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
