Parking near mosques? Abu Dhabi Police warn of Dh500 fines

## Parking Restrictions Near Mosques

Abu Dhabi Police have announced that drivers parking illegally near mosques, particularly during Friday prayers, will face fines of Dh500. The Traffic and Security Patrols Directorate emphasizes the importance of using designated parking areas to prevent traffic disruptions.

## Traffic Obstruction Concerns

Improper parking can block traffic flow and hinder access to parking areas, causing inconvenience for other road users. The police urge motorists to avoid parking on main roads and in front of mosques to ensure smooth traffic movement.

## Legal Implications

Under the Federal Traffic Law, obstructing another vehicle's movement by parking behind it incurs a Dh500 fine, as stipulated in Article 60. Similarly, Article 64 imposes the same penalty for improper parking practices.

Motorists are encouraged to adhere to these regulations to avoid fines and contribute to safer road conditions.
