Abu Dhabi, UAE: Q Mobility has announced the activation of the paid parking system in the outer areas of Al Shahamah, under the supervision of the Integrated Transport Centre of the Department of Municipalities and Transport.
The initiative aims to increase the efficiency of parking space usage and facilitate access for residents and visitors to various facilities throughout the area.
Improving Parking Efficiency
Al Shahamah has been experiencing rapid urban and service growth, with the development of numerous schools, malls, and community facilities. This growing activity has made it an increasingly popular destination for both residents and visitors, which has led to increased traffic and road congestion, affecting the smooth access of vehicles to residential and commercial buildings.
This underscores the importance of organizing traffic and parking to create a more comfortable, safe and accessible urban environment for everyone. The initiative is part of Q Mobility’s ongoing commitment to enhancing road safety and adopting smart, sustainable mobility solutions.
The activation of the paid parking system primarily contributes to:
- Regulating traffic flow within and around the area.
- Improving access to residential and commercial facilities.
- Providing a safer and more efficient experience for both residents and visitors.
System Coverage
The new parking system covers both New and Old Al Shahamah. A total of 3,704 paid parking spaces will be activated, including 40 spaces designated for People of Determination. Users can easily pay for parking through digital channels, such as the Darb and TAMM applications, ensuring a seamless and user-friendly experience.
Effective today 7 November 2025, the system will apply a fee of 2 AED per hour for standard parking spaces within the area.
