How to recognise Mexico from the road
Drives on the right
Painted shopfronts, flat roofs and a lot of speed bumps. Mexico is full of things to read once you slow down.
What to look for
1
Spanish signs
Signs are in Spanish, with distances in kilometres.
2
Speed bumps
Speed bumps, called topes, are very common, often with warning signs before them.
3
Painted walls
Walls of shops and houses are painted in bright colours, often with hand-painted lettering and adverts.
4
Flat roofs
Concrete houses with flat roofs and water tanks on top are typical.
