Road signs in United Arab Emirates are modelled on the British road sign system[1] that are regulated by the Road Traffic Authority (RTA) Dubai and Department of Transport (DoT) Abu Dhabi. The English language typeface is Transport and the Arabic language typeface is Naskh[2]
Route Classifications[]
There are three types of route signs in the UAE for classified roads.
Blue signs denote roads that facilitate travel between different Emirates. These are routes of National and International importance. Green signs denote roads that are wholly within the same Emirate. Brown signs provide for local wayfinding to places of local importance.[3][4]
