Dubai has introduced a new parking payment system that allows residents to pay for both on-street and off-street parking using the Salik electronic toll payment system. This initiative is a collaboration between Salik, Parkonic, and Dubai Holding, aiming to enhance convenience for drivers across approximately 36,000 parking spaces throughout the emirate.
Key Features of the New Parking Payment System
- Integration of parking payment with the existing Salik electronic toll system.
- Coverage of around 36,000 parking spaces in Dubai.
- Simplified and faster payment process, eliminating the need for multiple payment methods.
Benefits and Goals
The initiative addresses the growing need for efficient parking solutions within Dubai’s busy urban areas. Its main objectives include:
- Reducing traffic congestion caused by drivers searching for parking spots.
- Minimizing delays and complications arising from handling cash payments.
- Improving overall traffic flow and parking management in the city.
Expansion Plans
In addition to the current integration, Parkonic will introduce 29,600 paid parking spaces across major Dubai Holding communities. This effort aims to alleviate increasing pressure on parking availability and reflects Dubai’s commitment to smart city solutions.
These developments promise to enhance the experience of both residents and visitors by streamlining parking payments and supporting better urban mobility.
