Coffee shops are inside the main building, Gate 1. Online Services Section is accessible from outside Gate 2, next to the double road.

Keep multiple photocopies, photographs handy...do check with the document/copy shops (typing centers) around before you go in..the procedures do tend to change once in a while and this saves time

Also u can use RTA app and register all your cars and simply pay it without the need to remember the zone codes.

It's much less busy than before. I would suggest paying for 2 hours parking at once.

Try to get the process sorted out in your mind first with respect to documents, procedures etc..it could be quite confusing and if not for a few helpful people there a whole lot arduous

Finding a parking is near impossible, opt for the metro or public transport

One of the slower places to process things. Long queues and largely unfriendly staff. Would consider another location unless you absolutely have to come here.

Waiting times are extreme, and unlike pretty much every other government service office, this one is staffed by very unfriendly and unhelpful people. Happiness index -10.
