Dubai route numbering system
The Dubai route numbering system is a network of highways and roads in Dubai, United Arab Emirates that is managed by the Roads and Transport Authority. The network comprises 6 main highways and several major and minor inter-city and intra-city roads.
Routes
E-routes
Highways connecting Dubai to other emirates are designated Emirates routes or E-routes. They are identified by an emblem of a falcon, the letter E and a two or three digit number. While within city limits, most roads and highways take alternate names, but are consistently identified by their corresponding E-route number. Six E-routes pass through Dubai, connecting the city with other emirates and towns:The longest of the E-routes is E 11, which extends [the length">E 44 road (United Arab Emirates)">E 44
D-routes
D-routes connect localities within the city of Dubai and are identified by the emblem of a fort, the letter D and a two or three digit number. Considerably shorter in length than the average E-route, D-routes provide an intra-city network of roads and streets. D-routes parallel to UAE's coast along the Persian Gulf are numbered evenly, beginning with D 96; the numbers decrease as the network moves farther from the coast. D-routes perpendicular to the Persian Gulf coast are odd numbered, beginning with D 97, and decrease as the network moves away from the emirate of Sharjah. Some of the D-routes include:- D 85
