Abu Dhabi motorists warned not to park in bus stops

Abu Dhabi motorists have been reminded not to park in the emirate’s bus stops.

The Integrated Transport Centre (ITC) of the Department of Municipalities and Transport warned drivers they risked Dh2,000 fines if they parked in an area designated for public transport.

Regular inspections will be carried out to enforce the rules.

“The ITC urges the public not to park their vehicles in bus stops or any other areas that are dedicated for public means of transport and transport infrastructure facilities because of the risk of causing accidents and unexpected delays,” the ITC said.

“Drivers who use the bus stops to pick up or drop off passengers would endanger the public, disrupt the traffic flow, cause buses to run late, make bus trips longer and distort the overall look of the city.

“This will result in a fine of Dh2,000 for entering or occupying a prohibited area for public transport."

Tips to keep your car cool
