Why has Abu Dhabi introduced a new paid parking system in Al Shahamah, and how will it impact residents and visitors?

Abu Dhabi has activated a paid parking system across Old and New Al Shahamah, introducing 3,704 parking spaces, including 40 reserved for People of Determination. The initiative, managed by Q Mobility under the supervision of the Integrated Transport Centre, aims to improve parking efficiency and reduce congestion in an area that has seen rapid urban growth with new schools, malls, and community facilities. Parking fees are set at Dh2 per hour, payable via Darb and TAMM apps, making the process fully digital. Officials say the system will help ensure fairer space distribution and smoother traffic flow. What do you think: will introducing paid parking make it easier to find spots and manage traffic in Al Shahamah, or will it add an extra burden for daily commuters and residents?
