The initiative includes over 2,000 public parking spaces located on commercial streets and more than 17,000 unpaid parking spaces in residential neighborhoods that are near paid public parking areas. The official launch is set for next month, according to a report from the Saudi Press Agency.

Throughout the trial phase, the Riyadh Parking project website attracted over 500,000 visits, while the mobile application, which provides multiple digital payment options and is accessible on both iOS and Android platforms, saw more than 7,000 user registrations.

The project seeks to enhance the quality of life in Riyadh through the organization of public parking lots and the development of smart, innovative solutions for reducing improper and random parking.

This facilitates the process for both residents and visitors in locating available parking spaces. Parking areas in residential neighborhoods aim to safeguard residents by minimizing the flow of vehicles that bypass paid parking lots and opt to park in these communities instead.

The Riyadh Parking application differentiates between vehicles belonging to residents and those of others, providing residential licenses for local vehicles to ensure that residents' rights to unpaid parking spaces are protected.

Throughout the trial operation phase, the Riyadh Mayoralty has waived fees for parking lots. The hourly parking fee system is set to be implemented in paid public parking spaces located on commercial streets following the official launch in October.

The Riyadh Parking app will offer various secure payment options, covering all digital methods, to enhance the user experience and streamline financial transactions. There will also be additional payment methods available, including cash payment devices and website payments. Recommend : 7 Saudi nationals arrested for promoting communal hate on posts

The project presents a new feature that allows car owners a grace period of up to 15 minutes prior to the activation of the parking duration account. This allows for unique parking scenarios and individual situations that can require residents and visitors to depart promptly after parking.

The initial phase includes 12 regions within the neighborhoods of Al-Wurood, Al-Rahmaniyah, Gharb AlUlya, Al-Morouj, King Fahd, and Al-Sulaymaniyah, along with four additional areas in southern Riyadh.

The initiative seeks to operate and manage parking spaces, which is expected to enhance commercial activity in the areas surrounding public parking facilities. See Also : 94th Saudi National Day holidays
