Heading out on Mexico’s highways this week? Our readers have been sharing encouraging accounts of smooth journeys, light traffic and straightforward border crossings. We have gathered six of those experiences in a new weekend road roundup on Drive Mexico Magazine.
For Riviera Nayarit readers, the Bucerías–Nuevo Laredo account is particularly useful: a traveller and two dogs made the journey over September 27–28, stopping overnight in San Luis Potosí and reporting about a 35-minute border wait. Other reports cover Mazatlán–Nogales, San Felipe–Mazatlán, Chapala–the Colombia Bridge, Mérida–Veracruz and Tijuana–Pátzcuaro.
There are practical cautions alongside the good news: Robyn Gold reported bad potholes on the Culiacán bypass on October 4, while Glenn Levine encountered heavy rain and two accidents on his journey to Veracruz. The roundup also distinguishes Sunday’s temporary traffic disruptions from current conditions.
