Door delivery of postal mail likely in Dubai soon

Posted by | Sep 5, 2006 | |

Door to door delivery of postal mail in the emirate may not be a distant dream for Dubai residents. A proposal to introduce the system was discussed at a high-level meeting organised by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) at the Dubai Municipality headquarters yesterday.

Those attending the meeting discussed the feasibility of a new postal address system with other relevant public sector departments including Etisalat, Empost, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, Dubai Police and Civil Defence. RTA proposed a new public address system which will enable residents to receive mail and utility bills etc. at their doorstep. Under the proposed new system, all name plates on buildings across the emirate will have to specify the specific building number, community number and street number.

According to Badar Al Siri, RTA’s Traffic Department Director and Chairman of Road Naming and Numbering Project Committee, the new public address system would be introduced soon.

“We have covered about 70 per cent of the emirate already by giving numbers and names for streets and buildings. We are currently working to cover the rest of the areas. The new system will be good for residents as well as companies. This will help the companies to trace the correct spot of the residents thus both parties to save time,” he said.
