The Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation has waived fines for illegal parking.
President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih has made the decision to waive illegal parking fines issued from November 17, 2018, to September 5, 2023. The purpose of the decision is to ease the financial challenges of drivers as well as encourage them to adhere to parking regulations. The government has removed these fines from the ministry's system and urges individuals to report complaints regarding any fines for illegal parking during the period via email.
The transport ministry will also waive fines for traffic violations. However, drivers must undergo special training to have these fines waived. The ministry is providing an opportunity for drivers to participate in a training programme to qualify for the waiver of traffic fines.
