Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Municipalities and Housing affirmed that regulations governing the "mobile trader" activity identify nine locations where the activity is prohibited, in a manner that takes safety into account, maintains smooth traffic flow and the use of public facilities, and contributes to enhancing quality of life in cities.
Ministry Spokesperson Mohammed Al-Rasasmeh noted that the locations include road intersections, central road medians, parking spaces for persons with disabilities, entrances and exits of main roads, areas adjacent to traffic lights, public parking areas, bicycle lanes, and roads with heavy traffic, in addition to locations designated for police, traffic, civil defence, and ambulance services.
The ministry called on the public to report municipal observations and violations related to the activity through the unified number 940 or the "Balady" application, contributing to their prompt handling and the preservation of the safety of roads and public facilities.
