The UAE Ministry of Interior has postponed the enforcement of a cap on the number of vehicles residents can register under their name, following public feedback on the measure.

The limit was introduced under Article 89 of the Implementing Regulations of the Traffic Law. The ministry said it will hold off on applying the restriction while it completes a review of the appropriate regulatory requirements.

The review will take into account the rights of vehicle owners, the needs of families and investors, and the different ways vehicles are used, including classic, rare and luxury cars.

In a statement, the ministry said public feedback and suggestions are central to improving legislation and enhancing quality of life, while protecting rights and balancing different interests.

No timeline was given for when the review will conclude or when a revised version of the regulation might take effect.
