Riyadh Parking: Non-paid spaces in Al-Wurud to be activated tomorrow

The Riyadh Parking project said that the managed, non-paid parking spaces within residential neighborhoods in Al-Wurud district will be activated as of tomorrow, Aug.10.

Residents of managed areas will be required to obtain permits for themselves and their visitors via the Riyadh Parking mobile application, in order to limit the spillover of vehicles from commercial streets into residential neighborhoods.

According to data from Argaam, Riyadh Municipality launched the first phase of the Riyadh Parking project in August last year, aiming to enhance quality of life in the capital by regulating public parking and developing smart, innovative solutions to reduce improper and random parking practices.

The first phase of the project included the creation and management of more than 24,000 public parking spaces on main and commercial streets, and the management of over 140,000 parking spaces in adjacent residential neighborhoods.

This phase covers 12 zones spread across Al-Wurud, Al-Rahmaniyah, West Olaya, Al-Muruj, King Fahd, and Al-Sulaymaniyah districts, in addition to four other zones in neighborhoods in the southern part of Riyadh.
