Q Mobility has activated paid parking near Al Ain schools in Falaj Hazza. The system went live on September 23. It covers streets around multiple campuses in the Schools’ Zone. Officials say the move aims to ease congestion and improve safety. A total of 4,671 spaces are included across three sectors. Regular Mawaqif rules and enforcement now apply in these areas.
What Parents Need to Know
The paid bays follow standard and premium categories. Standard parking costs AED 2 per hour. Premium parking costs AED 3 per hour. Timings generally run from 8 am to midnight. Sundays and public holidays remain free of charge. Families can pay using SMS or official apps.
Expect some adjustment during the first weeks. Wardens will guide drivers on correct usage. Look for new signs and painted kerbs. They explain time limits and bay types. Keep the engine off while waiting to reduce emissions. It keeps the air cleaner for students.
Why the Change is Happening
School streets in Falaj Hazza face recurring bottlenecks. Random parking reduces visibility near gates and crossings. Buses also face delays during peak hours. The new layout organizes curbside activity. It encourages turnover near main entrances. Officials expect calmer traffic and clearer walking routes. The goal is predictable parking at busy campuses.
The Bottom Line
The scheme is now operational in Falaj Hazza. Parents should budget for paid parking near Al Ain schools. Use SMS or an approved app for payments. Watch for kerb colours and posted timings. Expect enforcement during drop-off and pick-up windows.
