Urban mobility regulation in Paraguay and Uruguay
Overview
Urban centers in Paraguay and Uruguay are experiencing shifts in mobility patterns, with increasing reliance on motorcycles, bicycles, and electric vehicles. In Asunción, Paraguay, the rise of motorcycles and delivery services has created a demand for more agile transport alternatives, though infrastructure has not kept pace with these changes.
In Uruguay, particularly in Salto, the growth of electric bicycles and scooters has raised safety concerns regarding high speeds, the use of sidewalks, and minors operating vehicles. These challenges prompted the Congress of Intendants of Uruguay to establish national regulations to standardize rules across departments. The new framework includes a 25 km/h speed limit, a requirement for helmets and reflective vests, and a restriction of one person per vehicle. To assist with enforcement, a unified registry using a TAG system will be implemented through the Single Vehicle Income Collection System (Sucive).
