Road signs in United Arab Emirates are regulated by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) Dubai and Department of Transport (DoT) Abu Dhabi. They are modelled on the British road sign system. The Transport typeface is used to display English text; no Arabic typeface is specified apart from the requirement that it be in the Naskh calligraphic script, with Boutros Advertisers Naskh being most commonly used.
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.
