The capital is to get a new address system to help everyone from residents to postal workers and emergency services locate streets, offices and houses quickly and logically.
The system, to be designed with the help of a Norwegian company, should replace the traditional Middle Eastern method of identifying locations by their proximity to landmarks or intersections "plus a bit of guesswork and luck" which can make finding an address a frustrating experience.
Juma Mubarak al Junaibi, the director-general of Abu Dhabi Municipality, said the new system being developed should "eliminate misunderstanding'' with respect to addresses and street directions.
''The aim was to give all areas and streets unique names and logical and sequentially structured numbering, Junaibi said in a statement issued in response to a query by The National. WAM
