Violation catalogue
Parking fines
Parking violations in the federal schedule. Municipal and paid-parking charges are a separate system run by each emirate and are not part of this table — where a row could be confused with one, it is marked.

Background
Federal parking rows, and the charges that are not on this table
The rows here are the parking entries of the federal violations schedule — the ones that penalise stopping or leaving a vehicle where the traffic rules do not allow it. They are national figures and they behave like every other row in the schedule: a fine, and wherever the annex states them, black points and an impound period beside it.
What is NOT on this table is the paid-parking system each emirate runs — the tariffs, the zones, the meters and the charges for overstaying a paid session. Those are municipal arrangements administered locally, they were not part of the federal corpus read for this site, and a page that mixed them into a federal table would be quietly presenting two different systems as one. If your notice came from a parking operator rather than from a traffic authority, this table is not the one it was issued under.
Where a parking row does carry an impound period, the routes out of it are the general ones the resolution provides for any impound, and they are set out with their unresolved ceiling question on the impound calculator.

Impound release cost calculator
A vehicle under impound can be released by paying a daily amount, up to a ceiling. What that ceiling applies to is genuinely unresolved in the article's own wording, so this tool computes both readings side by side and does not pick one.
Related violations
Licence and document fines
The rows that penalise paperwork rather than driving. Several of them carry an impound period that is open-ended rather than a fixed number of days, and those are marked as such rather than given an invented figure.
Vehicle condition fines
What the schedule charges for the state of the vehicle itself. Some of these rows carry an impound period out of proportion to the fine, which is exactly why the two are always shown together on this site.
Speeding fines
The schedule prices speeding in bands of excess over the posted limit. This is that ladder, in full, with the consequences the annex states for each rung and the rows that state them.
