Dubai residents could soon be able to suggest names for internal roads and avenues in the Emirate as part
of a new road naming mechanism announced by the authorities.

The Dubai Road Naming Committee's methodology aims to highlight the identity, cultural legacy and aspirations of

the emirate, in addition to the distinguishing features of certain localities.

Its initial phase relies on a combination of names and numbers to identify internal streets to make access easier for
motorists and visitors.

Steps to accept proposals from community members for new road names will be rolled out in upcoming phases of
the initiative.

The first phase of the initiative saw roads in Al Khawaneej 2 area being named. The new street names were inspired

by local trees and flowers, such as Al Ghaf Street, named after one of the most popular species of trees found
locally.
