Routes

E-routes

E 44 - Dubai-Hatta Highway sign

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:^[1]

• E 11 (Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed International Rd, Sheikh Maktoum Bin Rashid Rd, Sheikh Zayed Rd, Sheikh Rashid Rd, Al Ittihad Rd, Dubai - Sharjah Rd, Wasit Street, Wahda Street, Sheikh Mohammed bin Salem Rd, Al Rams Road)
• E 311 (Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (formerly Emirates Road))
• E 611 (Emirates Road (formerly Dubai Bypass Road))
• [E 911 road (Mahafiz)
• E 44 (Al Khail Road, Ras Al Khor Road, Al Awir Road, Dubai-Hatta Road, Hatta Highway)
• E 66 (Oud Metha Rd, Dubai-Al Ain Road)
• E 77 (Expo Road/Jebel Ali-Lehbab Road)

The longest of the E-routes is E 11, which extends the length of the UAE's Persian Gulf coast and connects all emirates, with the exception of Al Fujairah.

D-routes

Jumeirah Road sign

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:^[1]
