So after goog-mapping it... I see that it is, in fact, not 30 meters, but 50 METERS WIDE!!!! And only once have I seen people playing something in it...
On the bottom left corner you also see the median tapering down after the oval round-about, with the tapered part having a meandering path inside. Well, that's the path that has no entrance or exit... Why, o why is it there?
On one side (top) of the street you see fancy villas that have their OWN GARDENS; and the other side has the police station, some office building, some constructions and a lot of sand. So... now you see why this makes me angry.
But on the other hand, I have a little piece of information. Apparently the reason old Abu Dhabi is designed so funnily is because Sh. Zayed had some plans in mind. The only way I can get a hint of that is to get a hold of the old street regulations- which is not available on the internet. So I'll have to scoop it out from some engineer's office. Apparently it's in Arabic :| I NEED THIS DOCUMENT! It'll probably explain a LOT.
