Road signs in Los Bay Petros
Road signs in Los Bay Petros standards were adopted from various road standards such as MUTCD, German standards, and Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals standards. Although a number of changes over the years have introduced some slight deviations that suit local road conditions (such as fonts). Road signs in Los Bay Petros conform to the local Traffic and Driving code under authority of the CPA-CTP.
Los Bay Petrosian signs depict classical silhouetted persons.
