Parking in spaces reserved for disabled persons is prohibited if the vehicle does not have the permit holder inside, the Ministry of Interior (MoI) posted yesterday on X.
“The new format of the Disability Parking Permit has been introduced according to approved standards. It has been designed with the latest technical specifications. The old permits will continue to be valid until their expiration date,” the statement said.
The other conditions for the disability parking permit are the following: The permit must be displayed clearly and prominently behind the front windshield. If a vehicle is parked in a disabled parking space and the permit holder is not present, the General Directorate of Traffic has the right to issue a violation and withdraw the permit.
The General Directorate of Traffic, the issuing authority of the permit, must be notified within 48 hours in case of its loss. When found, the permit should be handed over to the nearest police station or Traffic Directorate branch. The permit that does not carry the stamp of the issuing authority is considered void. Unauthorised use of the permit will result in permit suspension and violation issuance. It is prohibited to use the permit or display it when the disabled person is not present in the vehicle.
