Registration of new vehicles in the capital’s suburb Hulhumalé has been halted after the artificial island reached the limit of its available public parking space.
The state-owned Housing Development Corporation, which oversees municipal services on the island, announced last week that only owners with private garages will be allowed to register new vehicles with effect from May 23.
The HDC asked people seeking to register vehicles to submit a form, which would be included in a registry to be used for adding new parking spaces.
According to the National Bureau of Statistics, 11,319 new vehicles were registered last year, an 11.6 percent rise from 2017.
