User:WWBM/Road signs in Peru

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Road signs in Peru are regulated by the Manual de Dispositivos de Control del Tránsito Automotor para Calles y Carreteras,[1] developed by the Ministry of Transport and Communications of Peru. This standard is based on the United States' Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) developed by the Federal Highway Administration,[2] Colombia's Manual de Señalización Vial and Chile's Manual de Señalización de Tránsito.[3] As a result, road signs in Peru are similar in design to those used in the United States on one side and in neighbouring Chile and Colombia on the other side.

Regulatory signs are used to notify users of the existing limitations, restrictions, prohibitions and/or authorisations that govern the use of the road and whose non-compliance constitutes a violation of the provisions contained in the National Traffic Regulations in force, as well as other MTC regulations.
