Dubai's strict parking regulations carry fines from Dh100 to Dh10,000 enforced by the Road and Transport Authority. Violations include exceeding time limits, non-payment of fees, obstruction, misuse of facilities, and unauthorized parking. UAE federal traffic law adds fines and black points for offenses like parking in front of hydrants or spaces for people with special needs. Accumulating over 24 black points leads to license revocation, lasting three to six months.
