The Ministry of Works, in coordination with the General Directorate of Traffic at the Ministry of Interior, announced the activation of 42 new parking meters in Bahrain’s Diplomatic Area.

The initiative aims to regulate parking space use and improve traffic flow in the area, ensuring better parking availability for visitors and daily users. The Diplomatic Area includes 546 parking spaces, which will now be more efficiently managed through the upgraded system.

According to the ministry, the new meters offer multiple payment options, including credit cards, Apple Pay, and cash payments. This is designed to provide users with greater convenience and a smoother payment experience when using public parking facilities.

Authorities urged all motorists to comply with posted parking time limits, regulations, and guidance, emphasizing that adherence will maximize the benefit of available spaces and improve access for the largest possible number of visitors.

The Ministry of Works said the rollout is part of ongoing efforts to enhance parking services across Bahrain, improve operational efficiency, and raise the overall quality of public road services.
