    Stop sign (United Arab Emirates).svg

    Image was uploaded to OSM Wiki, no license was explicitly stated by uploader but it was marked as own work. Therefore it was assumed that file is available on the standard OSM Wiki license like other content. This is likely correct but there is risk that it is not. It is possible that it was taken by one user and uploaded by another, with the first one not releasing this under any free license.
