The Council approved a new decision regarding the fees associated with releasing impounded vehicles in the emirate. The decision applies to all vehicle types and owners or drivers, streamlining the process for retrieving impounded vehicles while maintaining strict enforcement of public safety laws.

This policy specifically addresses vehicles impounded for serious violations, such as reckless driving or negligence, which pose risks to public safety and property. Owners can retrieve their vehicles once the legal impoundment period is complete and the prescribed fees are paid.
