In a decisive move to address the phenomenon of unregulated car guards proliferating in the Moroccan city of Tangier, the Wali of the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region and governor of the Tangier-Asilah prefecture, Younes Tazi, has issued a decision to suspend the issuance of car guarding permits in the city’s streets and public squares.
Tazi directed a letter to the presidents of district councils and representatives of local authorities, requesting them to halt the granting of permits for car guarding in streets, alleys, and public squares in the city of the Strait. This decision comes as part of efforts aimed at limiting the spread of the car guarding phenomenon in various neighborhoods of the city, which has led to the emergence of illegal behaviors and practices.
The Wali explained in his letter that this measure aims to put an end to the increasing numbers of car guards in different neighborhoods of the city, pointing out that this phenomenon has caused the emergence of behaviors and practices that violate the law. He called on local officials to take the necessary measures to stop issuing car guarding permits in main streets and public spaces within their territorial jurisdiction.
This decision comes in anticipation of establishing a solid legal framework to regulate parking in the city. The measure is expected to contribute to improving traffic organization and providing a better experience for Tangier’s residents and visitors, while ensuring compliance with local laws and regulations.
This step reflects the commitment of local authorities to address urban challenges and improve the quality of life in the city. The initiative is likely to spark a debate on how to manage parking more effectively in Moroccan cities, taking into account the needs of both residents and visitors.
