Sharjah City Municipality has introduced a residential parking permit system in Al-Fisht, Sharqan and Al-Rifa’a to reserve parking spaces for residents and prevent misuse.

The new system is aimed at improving parking management and ensuring residents have better access to spaces near their homes.

Inspection campaign

Alongside the rollout, the Municipality has conducted inspections to identify parking violations in the three areas.

One of the main issues found was non-residents parking outside residential properties to avoid paying public parking fees.

Authorities have warned motorists who do not live in these areas against using residential parking spaces.

Violators could face legal and administrative action.

What residents should know

The residential permit system is intended to ensure designated parking spaces are used by eligible residents, while reducing misuse by motorists seeking to avoid public parking charges.
