Dubai Orienteering Challenge

I've decided that signage in Dubai is a combination of comedy and a waste of time. Because of the constant construction very few signs are accurate, so you either have to know exactly where you're going or you try to make the best guess possible and hope you end up in the right lane or in the right place. Today for example, I was driving back from Al Mamzar and saw a sign that said "Bur Dubai" and a sign that said "Jumeirah". I live in Bur Dubai so I took the exit-- wrong! I ended up in the wrong part of Bur Dubai stuck in massive traffic. I should have taken the "Jumeirah" exit which, though it doesn't state it, would take me to the right area of Bur Dubai. See what I mean??

Now to the signage. I will be taking photos and posting them because you really have to see them to believe them. I'm not sure how to describe them. You're driving on the highway and suddenly you see this sign with 2 loop-de-loops and an arrow that's 180 from the direction in which you're traveling. It means you take an exit ramp, immediately take an off-ramp and go back up to the road on which you were traveling (but in the opposite direction), then head back the way you came. They're just the funniest things I've seen. There's one about a block from my apt and I'll go get a photo of it in the next day or so. It took me several months to completely understand these signs (or as best as I could) -- I really couldn't grasp that I was supposed to drive exactly the way it was sketched out on the sign. It really is funny.
