2026 Heavy Vehicle No-Entry Timings by Emirate: Ajman

Ajman heavy vehicle no-entry timings exist to reduce peak-hour congestion and conflict points on main corridors. For 2026 planning, the most current public update (as of January 2026) is an Ajman Police timing revision published on July 18, 2025, with an effective start date of Tuesday, July 22, 2025.

That update matters because it splits Ajman into two categories:

1. Two named roads with time-based bans.
2. All other Ajman roads where Ajman Police stated a full ban on heavy vehicle movement remains in effect.

This blog gives a checklist-first, AEO-friendly breakdown for logistics teams, fleet owners, and move planners: the exact no-entry windows, the roads affected, what “full ban” implies in operations, and the permit pathway used when movement is necessary. The official Truck Pass Permit service is listed under Ajman Police and is available via digital channels.

What are Ajman’s heavy vehicle no-entry timings for 2026?

Ajman’s published peak restrictions (latest public update) ban heavy trucks on two major roads during two windows: 05:30–09:00 and 14:00–21:30.

Ajman 2026 timing table

These timings come from Ajman Police’s July 2025 update reported by Khaleej Times and remain the latest widely published reference as of January 2026.

Important operational note: Ajman Police also stated that a full ban remains on all other roads in the emirate.

Which Ajman roads are covered by time-based bans?

The time-based bans apply to Sheikh Zayed Street and Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Street.

Practical reading

• If a route includes either named street, schedule heavy vehicle movement outside the two restricted blocks.
• If a route shifts onto other Ajman roads, Ajman Police’s “full ban” statement becomes relevant.

What does “full ban on all other roads” mean in real operations?

Ajman Police’s statement indicates that outside the two named streets, heavy vehicle movement is not permitted on Ajman roads unless a permitted exception applies.

How logistics teams treat this statement

Use a compliance-first approach:

1. Assume restriction by default on roads not explicitly listed as time-managed.
2. Use a permit pathway if the movement is necessary for a project, delivery, or controlled access requirement. Ajman Police lists a Truck Pass Permit service for requesting a heavy truck movement permit in Ajman.
3. Document route and time for audits and dispute prevention.

How do you get permission for heavy vehicle movement in Ajman?

Ajman provides a Truck Pass Permit service under Ajman Police for requesting a heavy truck passing permit in Ajman.

What the official service page shows

• Service: Truck Pass Permit (request or renew)
• Target: Companies
• Fees: No fees listed
• Submission: digital channels are listed, with Ajman Police noting availability via the smart app.

Typical documents listed on Ajman’s service catalog page

• Company vehicle license
• Contract with projects

What counts as a “heavy vehicle” for planning purposes?

Operationally, “heavy vehicle” can be defined differently across enforcement contexts, but weight and dimension rules exist at the federal-road level. The UAE Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure has published a table and penalties context related to maximum weights and dimensions for heavy vehicles on federal roads.

Practical definition for scheduling and compliance

Use a conservative rule for planning:

• Treat trucks, trailers, and heavy goods vehicles as “heavy vehicles” for routing decisions.
• Confirm classification in the vehicle registration category and permit requirements before movement.

What changed recently in Ajman heavy vehicle restrictions?

Ajman Police published updated banning hours in July 2025, with the two daily restriction blocks and identification of the two affected streets.

The two daily restriction blocks 

• Morning: 05:30–09:00
• Afternoon and evening: 14:00–21:30

What is the best scheduling strategy for Ajman in 2026?

The best strategy is route-first scheduling followed by permit-first exceptions.

Route-first scheduling checklist

Use the same first word style for fast scanning.

• Identify whether the path touches Sheikh Zayed Street or Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Street.
• Avoid the two restricted windows: 05:30–09:00 and 14:00–21:30.
• Confirm whether destination access requires movement on roads covered by the “full ban” statement.
• Prepare a permit request if movement is required.
• Record trip data: vehicle ID, driver, route, time window, permit reference.

Time window guidance for planners

• Best movement windows based on published bans:
  • 09:00–14:00
  • 21:30–05:30
    These are derived directly from the restricted blocks on the two listed streets.

What penalties apply if a fleet ignores the restriction?

Penalties and enforcement mechanisms depend on the specific regulation and context. The most reliable public statement in the cited update is that Ajman Police is the announcing authority and the ban is active per the published dates and times.
For weight and axle violations on federal roads, the UAE Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure describes fines tied to exceeding limits.

Operational point: Avoid mixing “weight enforcement” with “no-entry timing enforcement.” Treat them as separate compliance layers.

Practical compliance toolkit

One-page movement decision flow

1. Start with road check: does the route use Sheikh Zayed Street or Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Street?
2. Select a time outside 05:30–09:00 and 14:00–21:30.
3. Check if the route relies on other Ajman roads where the “full ban” statement applies.
4. Apply for permit if movement is necessary.
5. Log evidence: route plan, permit reference, delivery slot, driver identity.

Conclusion

Ajman heavy vehicle no-entry planning for 2026 becomes straightforward when the route is treated as a compliance object. The latest widely published Ajman Police update defines two time-based restriction windows, 05:30–09:00 and 14:00–21:30, on Sheikh Zayed Street and Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Street, effective 22 July 2025. The same update states a full ban remains in effect on other Ajman roads, so operations must assume restriction unless an approved exception exists. When movement is necessary, Ajman’s government service catalog and Ajman Police portal list a Truck Pass Permit service with company and project documentation requirements. The most reliable outcome comes from a repeatable process: schedule outside restricted windows, confirm route compliance, secure permits early, and keep an evidence log that matches your dispatch records.
