4.12. Mapping rules: Peru

This section contains mapping rules for Peru.

4.12.1. Roads

4.12.1.1

In places where a pedestrian path approaches a roadway (both outside intersections and at them) and there is no pedestrian crossing, you can draw them as overlapping regardless of the presence of a solid center line marking and the number of lanes on the roadway.

4.12.1.2

You can draw pedestrian paths crossing railway tracks if there are no signs that prohibit crossing these tracks.

4.12.1.3

In Peru, you can see the abbreviation "Jr." on address plates and street signs: it is an abbreviated version of the "Jirón" street type, so don't confuse it with a name or some other detail.

4.12.1.4

One-way traffic is assigned to class 7 roads if there are road signs on the ground that restrict entry or turns to this road from one of the sides.

4.12.2. Addresses

Address plates can have a complex structure and contain other information in addition to the address.

You may encounter the following abbreviations in addresses:

• "Fam." (Familia) — before the name of the family that owns the house.
• "Mz." (Manzana) — before the block or sector number (essentially, it's a small block within a larger block).
• "Lt." (Lote) — before a house or area number in a block.
• "Av." (Avenida), "Cl." (Calle), "Jr." (Jirón) — designation of a street type.
• "Urb." (Urbanizacion) — a larger block containing smaller blocks to which addresses are linked.

The lower part of the plate may contain information about belonging to a block within the city.

Example

From the sign below, reflect the following information in Yandex Maps: the address point with number 41 is linked to the block Manzana H, which is linked to the larger block Los Jardines de San Juan.

You may also encounter plates (both address and street signs) that contain the historical name of the street. In these cases, determine the current and historical street names based on the placement of the names on the plate itself.

Example

The sign below contains four fields:

• 1 — official name (Jr. Callao);
• 2 ― historical name (Calle De Valladolid);
• 3 ― historical reference: indication of whom the street is named after;
• 4 ― indication that the historical name (Calle De Valladolid) refers to the area Jr. Callao that passes through the second block (Cuadra 2).
