Draft:Road signs in Paraguay

Road signs in Paraguay are regulated in the Manual de Carreteras del Paraguay standard developed by the Ministry of Public Works and Communications of Paraguay (Ministerio de Obras Públicas y Comunicaciones). This standard is based on the United States' MUTCD (FHWA), Mexico's Manual de dispositivos para el control del tránsito en zonas urbanas y suburbanas, Central America's Manuales Técnicos para el Diseño de Carreteras (SICA), Colombia's Manual de Señalización Vial (Ministry of Transport), and Chile's Manual de Carreteras. Thus, road signs used in Paraguay generally have many similarities in design to road signs used in the United States, Mexico, Central America, Colombia and Chile, including the use of diamond-shaped warning signs on a yellow background as in most of the Americas.
