Going forward, every female driver in DOC’s car will be clearly marked with a Pink Parking sticker, and they will have designated parking spots near the buildings’ entrances and exits to increase their safety and comfort. This concept has been successful in countries like Korea and Hong Kong and while it’s the first of its kind in UAE, is expected to gain momentum over the period of time.
