DURL

Throughout much of Dubai, there are traffic (and, for me, pedestrian) diversions marked 'DURL.' But nowhere did I see what 'DURL' stood for. 'D,' I assumed, was for Dubai, and 'R' must be for rail, but what were the 'U' and 'L'?

Finally, I found a helpful man wearing a DURL uniform, and I asked him. 'It's an acronym,' he replied. So now I know, 'DURL' comes from DUbai RaiL.
