As seen in the videos, the authorities have called on mall administrators to provide comfortable seating, water coolers and mobile phone charging points at the rest areas.
Additionally, the covered rest areas for motorcycle delivery drivers at shopping malls across Abu Dhabi have to be easily accessible to delivery workers by placing them near common pick-up and drop-off points.
The Joint Committee said that it has also issued parking permits for four buses that have been designated as temporary rest stops for drivers in Khalifa City, Shamkhah, Al Wathbah and Al Ain City.
In addition, permanent rest areas are being set up at four locations in Abu Dhabi Island, Khalifa City and Shakhbout City.
