MUTCD/Puerto Rico/CW
Series CW of the Manual de Rotulación para las Vías Públicas de Puerto Rico is for construction warning signs. Whereas a regulatory sign appears the same inside and outside a construction zone, a warning sign has an orange background in a construction zone instead of the usual yellow. Otherwise, most of Series CW is identical to Series W. The tables below show only the signs that are unique to Series CW. The tables display only the signs specific to the sign manual in Puerto Rico; consult MUTCD/CW for construction warning signs in the national standard.
In general, OpenStreetMap only maps long-term closures and construction sites. For routing purposes, short-term construction is more reliably and efficiently tracked in incident management systems along with real-time traffic congestion data.
