7/5/24, 3:02 PM Dubai Road Naming Committee promotes community participation by launching ‘Roads Naming Suggestions platform'
The Dubai Road Naming Committee was established by Executive Council Resolution No. (35) of 2021 and is led
by the Director General of Dubai Municipality. It includes the Director General of the Dubai Culture and Arts
Authority, CEO of the Hamdan Bin Mohammed Heritage Center, CEO of the Traffic and Roads Agency at the RTA,

and four experienced and expert representatives of Dubai citizens – Mr. Abdullah Thani Al Mataroushi, Mr. Hameed
Sultan Al Matyouai, Mr. Juma Bin Thalith, and Mr. Rashid Boukhash.

The committee follows a specific criterion for naming roads in the emirate, aiming to highlight Dubai's national

identity by reflecting its history, heritage, values, and cultural, civilizational, and social richness.

The naming process fundamentally relies on the principle of inference, achieved by creating a method that allows

people to connect with the mental image of a place through its names, signs, and location details. With this new
approach, street names will possess a unique and distinct character, making it easier to reach destinations
seamlessly using the new addressing system.
