Intersections

A lot of roads in the UAE are split and have very large intersections. To have optimal instructions for the left turn lanes and U-turns the following layout has become the standard.

Other designs have been tested and found more complex, or with easy mistakes in the Turn Restriction settings. Failing Uturns, funny routing within the intersection heart, etc.

Roundabouts

For Roundabout constructions, we use the same structures as in the USA. Here is more information on the subject.

U-Turns

On Freeways and Highways in UAE that have divided lanes, there are often designated U-turn areas created. They can be recognized by road signs indicating a U-turn, as well as a U-turn arrow painted on the road surface.

On smaller roads there may not be specific signage indicating a U-turn area, but unless there are specific road signs that prohibit U-turns, they are generally allowed.

To ensure proper driving instructions, there are several construction options available. Please see the U-turn constructions page. Note that this page was originally constructed for a left-hand drive country, but as long as you mirror the constructions they will work for the Emirates.

Dividing roads

When it is illegal to cross a road, indicated by an uncrossable barrier in the middle it should be divided. This allows Waze to properly route users to the correct side of the road for their destination.

See the U-Turn section for instructions on how to properly hand dedicated U-Turn lanes on divided roads.
