RTA to give free directional signs for Emiratis’ events
Service for wedding and condolence events can be requested from next month
Emiratis holding wedding events will now be provided with complimentary directional signs to be put up to guide invitees to the location of the wedding, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced.
Mattar Al Tayer, directorgeneral and chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of RTA in Dubai, said the service would be provided free of charge for weddings of Emiratis starting from next month.
During the announcement, Al Tayer also honoured the team who proposed the idea of having signs to guide invitees to social events held at homes or tents, which was widely welcomed by community members.
He commended RTA’s team and clients who supported the suggestion, which will maintain the urban outlook of Dubai and rid the city of the rampant carton signs placed on the roads to guide to sites of condolences and other events.
“The RTA is keen on diversifying communication channels with individuals and staff contributing with their suggestions to RTA, in a bid to engage them in the decision-making process,” said Al Tayer.
The signage service can be requested by visiting affiliated customer service centres, or contacting the Call Centre (8009090) 24/7 to supply the required information/documents. The RTA provides 10 signs per request to cover a wide geographical area leading to the wedding or condolence location. ■
