Kalba Municipality Sharjah will introduce a paid parking system across the city starting February 1. This move aims to improve parking management and reduce congestion in the city.
Paid parking hours will run from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturdays through Thursdays. However, parking will remain free on Fridays, except in zones where fees apply every day. To help drivers, blue information signs will clearly identify these zones.
Additionally, municipality officials urge drivers to follow the new regulations to avoid fines. This system is part of broader efforts to enhance infrastructure and traffic flow in Kalba. The city is known for its natural beauty and growing commercial activity.
Moreover, residents and visitors can use smart payment options via apps or kiosks. This ensures a seamless and convenient experience while aligning with Sharjah vision of modernized public services.
Importantly, revenue from parking fees will directly support urban development projects. These projects include road maintenance and upgrades to parking facilities, benefiting residents and visitors alike.
Therefore, all drivers should familiarize themselves with the designated parking zones and operating hours. This step will ensure a smooth transition to the new system and help avoid inconvenience.
In addition, the municipality views this as a crucial milestone in modernizing Kalba’s infrastructure. The changes aim to accommodate the city’s growing population and expanding tourism sector.
Further details about the system, such as fee structures and payment methods, will be announced soon. Residents can stay informed through official announcements and updates on the municipality’s social media channels.
