Dubai residents can now apply for official permits from the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) to install temporary parking shades in residential areas. This step is aimed at helping residents protect their vehicles from heat while keeping roads safe and organised.
According to the guidelines, all parking shades must follow RTA-approved designs and colours. The structures should not block traffic signs, interfere with pedestrian walkways, or affect underground or overhead utility services. The goal is to ensure that shaded parking does not cause inconvenience to road users or disrupt public infrastructure.
The RTA has clarified that these parking shades are temporary and may be removed if needed for road maintenance, development projects, or emergency situations. Residents are required to cooperate fully in such cases to avoid delays or safety risks.
Applications for installing parking shades will be handled through approved contracting companies. This process helps ensure that installation is carried out safely, professionally, and with minimal disruption to the surrounding area. Residents must also make sure that all rules and conditions are followed during and after installation.
Overall, this initiative is designed to balance residents’ needs for shaded parking with Dubai’s commitment to smooth traffic flow, road safety, and maintaining the city’s clean and attractive appearance.
