Ajman Police Warn Against Parking Illegally Near Mosques During Last 10 Days Of Ramadan

Authorities have launched intensive campaigns to prevent illegal parking around mosques , particularly during Taraweeh and Qiyam prayers in the last 10 days of Ramadan. The aim is to ease congestion and ensure smooth traffic flow as thousands of worshippers gather for prayers.

Ajman Police strongly urged drivers to park in designated areas and follow traffic regulations to avoid fines and contribute to a safer environment for worshippers.“We call on the community to cooperate and park responsibly. Simple actions, such as choosing proper parking spots, can make a significant difference in ensuring smooth traffic flow and safety for everyone,” Capt Hamdan Ahmed Al Raisi, head of traffic awareness and media at Ajman Police said.

The crackdown comes as illegal parking has risen due to an increase in worshippers during the final days of Ramadan.“As the number of worshippers increases during the last 10 days of Ramadan, we have observed a rise in improper parking , which not only causes traffic congestion but also poses safety risks. Our campaign focuses on raising awareness and enforcing traffic laws to prevent these violations,” explained Capt Al Raisi.
