How can I avoid parking fines in Dubai?

To avoid parking fines in Dubai, always make use of the many paid parking zones, which usually cost around AED 2 to AED 4 per hour. In my 5 years in Dubai, I've learned that unclear signage can lead to fines, so always double-check the parking rules in the area where you park. Pro tip: Download the RTA app to help you find parking and receive notifications before your time runs out. This has saved me from many unwanted fines!
