The city of Sharjah has witnessed multiple changes in its parking system since the last quarter of 2024, with one of these changes yet to be implemented.
In the cultural emirate of the UAE, parking spaces are typically marked with blue and white curb markings, accompanied by signage that provides clear instructions on usage and fees.
Apart from the option of daily parking fees, users can also opt for prepaid parking subscriptions, which allow individuals and businesses to use paid parking spaces according to their chosen plans.
