Road Signs in Dubai

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]
