28.08.2024Roads in Mexico and their quality
The roads between the cities are satisfactory, they are ordinary highways with a speed of 100-110 km per hour. Of course, they are not German autobahns with interchanges, but the roads are not that busy.
Traffic jams are frequent when approaching cities.
Orientation is not so difficult, especially if you have a navigator)))) In any case, if you are traveling Cancun – Playa del Carmen – Tulum, you have a straight road.
The roadsides are quite dirty, you get the impression that everyone litter there or do not remove garbage, because it creates an unpleasant impression.
There are no tolls on the roads.
Police on the roads
It is there, there are often roadblocks, but no one stopped us. No, there were two times, but both times we did not have time to stop and were immediately waved to pass further.
Gas stations on the highways
They are there, and the gas station attendants are waving at you to lure you to the gas station. I would pay attention to such an aspect as refueling cars, in the reviews write about frequent cheating with refueling. All my refueling went without excesses, except for the fact that when we drove back, no one wanted to refuel us by credit card, it’s great that they accepted cash US dollars for payment, though at “their” internal rate of 15.5, while you could give 16-16.5 pesos for 1 dollar.
