Parkin has unveiled a major expansion of Dubai’s public parking subscription system, introducing 15 new and updated categories designed to give residents, commuters, and visitors far more flexible parking options across the city’s busiest residential, commercial, and development zones.

Under the revamped structure, subscription prices now start at Dh100 per month, the lowest tier for students and staff of private educational institutions, and go up to Dh500 per month for side-street and open-yard parking, which marks the highest-priced category.

To make things easier for regular users, Parkin has also launched quarterly bundled plans. These include a Dh1,400 three-month subscription for high-demand areas such as Dubai Silicon Oasis and Dubai Hills, working out to roughly Dh467 per month.

The expanded system now covers side-street and yard parking options from Dh500 per month, with the added benefit of registering up to three vehicles under a single traffic file — a useful option for families, daily commuters, and frequent shoppers.

Dedicated yard-only subscriptions in Zones B and D start from Dh250 per month, catering to users who need long-duration or overnight parking for up to 24 hours.

New packages for development zones

Parkin has also introduced flexible subscription plans across major development clusters:

  • Dubai Silicon Oasis (Zone H): From Dh1,400 for three months
  • Dubai Hills (631G): Subscriptions available for up to one year, starting from Dh1,400 every three months
  • Wasl Real Estate W/WP zones: From Dh300 per month for long-term permits

Additional development-zone packages include:

  • Dubai Studio City: Dh315 per month (869 spaces)
  • Dubai Outsource City: Dh315 per month (141 spaces)
  • Dubai Sports City: Dh300 per month (875 spaces)
  • Dubai International Academic City: From Dh315 per month (1,850 spaces)
  • Dubai Production City: From Dh315 per month (5,650 spaces)
  • Dubai Science Park: From Dh315 per month (777 spaces in Zone 672F)

Lower rates for students and education staff

In a move to support the education community, Parkin has introduced reduced-rate categories for private school staff, who can now get side-street and yard parking permits starting at Dh100 per month within 500 metres of their workplace in Zones A, B, C and D.
Students can access the same benefits for Dh100 per month, provided their parking area is within 500 metres of their educational institution.

Multi-storey options for city-centre users

For those who spend long hours in central Dubai, Parkin is offering multi-storey parking subscriptions starting from Dh735 per month, providing a more affordable alternative to daily payments.

Parkin said the expanded subscription network is designed to improve parking accessibility across the emirate and offer tailored solutions for both daily and long-term users. The company also urged motorists to download the Parkin app and choose the package that best fits their location and parking habits.

UAE drivers warned: Failing to stop for school bus carries a Dh1,000 fine and 10 points

Abu Dhabi Police has reminded motorists to come to a complete stop when a school bus extends its side-mounted ‘Stop’ arm, warning that drivers who ignore the rule face a Dh1,000 fine and 10 traffic balck points.

Motorists must also keep a distance of at least 5 metres from the school bus while children are getting on or off.

Police said drivers must not attempt to overtake or pass a school bus when its stop arm is extended, as children may be crossing the road.

The five-metre safety rule is designed to give pupils enough room to cross safely while ensuring they remain visible to approaching motorists and the school bus driver.

Extra caution needed around schools

The reminder comes as schools reopen and thousands of school buses return to roads across Abu Dhabi, leading to heavier traffic around residential communities, school campuses and pick-up and drop-off points.

Police urged drivers to be particularly careful during the busy morning and afternoon school runs, when traffic around schools and buses increases significantly.

Motorists have been advised to slow down, stay alert and follow all traffic rules when approaching school buses.

Dh1,000 fine and 10 black points

Ignoring a school bus stop sign is a serious traffic violation, Abu Dhabi Police said.

Drivers who fail to stop when the bus extends its stop arm can be fined Dh1,000 and receive 10 traffic points.

Police stressed that keeping children safe on the road is a shared responsibility, calling on motorists to remain patient and avoid risky manoeuvres around school buses.

With thousands of children travelling to and from school every day, even a few seconds of caution can make a crucial difference.

The message from police is simple: when a school bus displays its Stop arm, stop, keep your distance and wait until it is safe to move again.

Inspection campaign

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