60 Solar-Powered Parking Payment Machines Installed in Riyadh

As part of the Riyadh Parking project’s trial phase, the Riyadh Region Mayoralty has deployed 60 solar-powered parking payment machines and guidance panels. The initiative targets over 2,000 public parking spots on commercial streets and 17,000 unpaid spaces in residential areas.

While the official launch is scheduled for October 2024, the trial period has already attracted 500,000 visits to the parking website and 7,000 downloads of the app. The project aims to find smart solutions to deter improper parking.

The first phase covers 12 areas in the neighbourhoods of Al-Wurood, Al-Rahmaniyah, Gharb AlUlya, Al-Morouj, King Fahd and Al-Sulaymaniyah, as well as in four other areas in southern Riyadh.
