Road signs in Paloma

The road signs in Paloma are similar to North American MUTCD and some European-style road signs, with a few differences. They are currently managed by the Ministry of Transportaion using the Paloman National Traffic Devices System. Roads in Paloma tend to be mostly Federal Highways or municipal highways maintained by municipalities.

There are no plans for adopting the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals standards. The 2022 PNTDS adopted several Vienna Convention-inspired symbols on signs for standardization.

R5 Series: Parking

The PNTDS allows for three types of parking signs: permissive, No Parking, and No Standing. However, in most states, there is an additional more restrictive one, No Stopping. These signs are found in the R7 series of signs in the PNTDS. As all situations are not covered, several states and local governments have their own standards in addition to the PNTDS.

Permissive Parking

These types of signs allow for parking for either an unlimited or varied amount of time. They are often used in conjunction with parking meters and parking permits. They are specified by the MUTCD to be green on white. Local variations occur with additional information and slightly different designs.

Permissive Parking
Parking with time restrictions
Reserved parking (wheelchair)

No Parking

No Parking signs indicate that loading or unloading while temporarily stopped is permitted, but the driver must not leave the vicinity of the vehicle. Some No Parking signs display time restrictions, while others are permanent restrictions. There are also temporary versions of the signs, often of similar design to the permanent ones. These signs are specified by the PNTDS to be red on white, although local variations occur.

No Standing

No Standing signs indicate that stopping temporarily to load or unload passengers is allowed, but vehicles cannot be stopped at the location for longer periods of time, even if the driver remains with the vehicle.^[1] As with no parking signs, some restrictions displayed on the signs are permanent and some are time based. The signs are also specified by the PNTDS to be red on white, but local variations exist.

Warning

Warning signs are found in the W series of the national PNTDS. They highlight existing conditions, such as a curve, school, dead-end street, or traffic signal. They can also warn of possible dangers such as bumps, bicycles, low flying aircraft, or emergency vehicles. They are either yellow or fluorescent yellow in color and, with a few exceptions, are usually diamond-shaped and sometimes have square or rectangular smaller signs or plaques associated with them. Most W series signs can also be found with orange backgrounds for temporary use in situations such as construction zones. Some of the temporary-use signs are for use only in temporary situations.

W1 Series: Turns, Curves, Intersections

The MUTCD's W1/2 series of signs is for warning signs relating to curves, turns, and intersections. As not all situations are covered, several states have their own standards in addition to the MUTCD.
