Ahmed Ibrahim, PMP consulting manager, said special subscription forms have also been distributed to residents in these select areas.

Each inhabitant is requested to show his tenancy contract, a copy of his car ownership papers and a telephone connection receipt in order to secure parking permission from Abu Dhabi Municipality.

He added, the parking fee from now till the year-end would be around Dh500. During the four- to six-month trial period, each apartment in the buildings covered by the PMP will have its own exclusive parking lot.

''The 600-member British Parking Authority (BPA) has recently awarded the Abu Dhabi Municipality its membership and this privilege has allowed the civic body to benefit from its expertise in various innovative ways as part of the PMP.
