Ticketless parking

The Palm Jumeirah Crescent zone operates as a ticketless paid parking area. Vehicles are identified through their license plate number, which acts as the digital parking record. There are no physical tickets, parking metres, or entry barriers in the area.

Payment methods

According to Parkonic, motorists can pay for parking through SMS by following the instructions displayed on the on-site signage to start a session.

If SMS payment fails, the parking fee will be automatically deducted from the vehicle's Salik account after exit, subject to Salik's terms and conditions. Residents and visitors should note that cash payments, parking machines, and QR-based payment options are not available at this location.

Default parking payment method

The default payment method for on-street parking at Palm Jumeirah Crescent is Salik, unless an SMS parking session is activated, the operator said.

Vehicles without a Salik account or with insufficient Salik balance must pay through SMS parking, and additional charges may apply depending on the telecom provider.

Parking fees are charged per hour or part thereof, as displayed on the pole signage at the site. Failure to pay the applicable fees may result in actions, including fines, blacklisting, or legal proceedings by the relevant authority.
