ABU DHABI // Drivers headed to the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre will soon pay to park on a sliding scale if they use its two multi-storey lots, the complex owner said yesterday. The new system includes 30 variable message signs that will let drivers know how many spaces are available and direct them to the right floors. APCOA Parking Limited, which manages more than one million parking spaces at more than 5,000 sites in Europe, will manage the car park from September 30 onward. Motorists will pay Dh10 (US$2.70) to park for up to four hours, Dh15 for up to seven hours, Dh20 for up to 12 hours, Dh40 for a day and Dh100 if their vehicle spends more than 24 hours in a car park.
