The Schools’ Zone in Al Ain has faced multiple traffic challenges, including random and illegal parking in non-designated areas. These practices reduce visibility, increase risks for students, and cause congestion. School bus operations have also been affected, leading to delays in drop-offs and pick-ups.

The paid parking system is designed to regulate traffic, provide safer pathways for students, and ensure smoother operations for school buses. Regular Mawaqif rates of Dh2 per hour apply.
Established last year, Q Mobility manages, operates, and develops Abu Dhabi’s toll system ‘DARB’ and parking system ‘Mawaqif’ under the regulatory supervision of the Department of Municipalities and Transport, through the Integrated Transport Centre.
