Hi Mona.

I appreciate your comment. As some points in time of road development in the UAE, there are moments when some of the OSM conventions don't fully capture what is happening. Unfortunately, the on-the-ground reality is that there is a road that used to be connected, that is no longer connected, and now has blockades at the end of it. My role as an editor who lives in this area is to most accurately represent physical reality for the sake of the usefulness of the map. At this moment, the construction of roads in the UAE is "out of compliance" with OSM standards. It will be updated once a final road plan is revealed and constructed.

I would re-iterate, that it's really not advisable to remotely edit roads of the UAE using only satellite imagery and outdated GPS tracks, as things change here on a weekly basis. Updating names to have proper Arabic naming is a great effort, but I would caution against editing the physical layout of roads in this region without someone local who can verify.
