The Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) has introduced strict penalties under Clause 2 of Law No. 2 of 2012, targeting any fencing, enclosing, or covering that distorts public aesthetics. Offenders will face fines starting at Dh3,000 for the first violation, Dh5,000 for a second, and up to Dh10,000 for repeated offences.
The law is part of Abu Dhabi’s broader initiative to preserve the emirate’s architectural and cultural charm. It applies to public spaces, including green areas, marketplaces, roads, and walkways, ensuring they remain visually appealing and well-maintained.
Additionally, the DMT has started enforcing public appearance regulations that align with Law No. 2 of 2012. These rules extend beyond fencing, with fines ranging from Dh5,000 to Dh20,000 for repeated offences that affect the city’s visual identity.
Abandoned vehicles are also under scrutiny. The DMT issued reminders on March 3 regarding fines for dirty or neglected cars left in public spaces. Under Clause 62, offenders will be fined Dh500 for a first violation, Dh1,000 for a second, and Dh2,000 for subsequent infractions. Clause 63 imposes even stricter penalties on abandoned vehicle frames, with fines starting at Dh1,000 and rising to Dh4,000 for repeated offences.
These regulations are part of Abu Dhabi’s ongoing efforts to maintain its world-class urban environment, ensuring a clean and visually harmonious cityscape.
