Abu Dhabi: The Beaten Path

ParkingWe all know about the parking problem here, and we also know that car owners are finding increasingly creative work-around solutions. But the one fix that is being embracedén masse’is the one that entitles you to park anywhere you want, block any number of cars, any time of day and night, as long as you place your mobile number on the dashboard. You can personlize your sign: from large scrawling on a paper  with a felt pen, to a business card for that corporate touch. But even if you do forget to place your mobile number, you get a polite call from the traffic police asking you to move your car; which is a great service to be sure, but clearly encourages scoundrels to abuse the system.

So what is the solution, you ask? Perhaps creating a bit of a method to the madness… like a ‘Code Green’ situation (a life or death situation where you are called upon to administer CPR or take a heart attack victim to the hospital) entitles you to block a car. If you’re in ‘Code Orange’ territory you may block a car only if the car you’re blocking has a thick blanket of dust, a foreign plate and looks like it hasn’t been moved since 1973 – and even then it would be for a five minute stop to pick up formula for a hungry baby! Then there is ‘Code Red’ where you’re tempted to block a car to pick up gum, a quick latte, shawarma etc… but you risk your car getting towed, crushed and getting shipped to China as scrap metal.

There were new rules imposed to all the residence of Abu Dhabi as of now regarding on parking their cars. If they wish to disobey this rules they are pretty welcome but they must face the consequences freely. Okay! That’s it for now ’cause I still have to check this acne treatment reviews I’ve found earlier in one of the magazine I read. May this article help you understand on things that you need to follow on traffic rules here in Abu Dhabi especially those residence who do have their own cars.
