Drive fine HUH.

Some can't drive fine with or without the lights working.

Naw, the lights already burned out. The lights being out will also help with the overhead demolition derby.
Watch Por Esto for details and photos.

There are many overpasses in Aguascalientes and in Guadalajara, and they all have green areas with plants and trees under them, so they must be well planned, I don't think they are planting somethnig that will pop out in the middle of the road in a few years

Hey Rick at least he is giving you the credit. Right on friedman

Heather, I am just reporting the facts and I will let Por Esto do the rest. True story: in anticipation of the new roadway* - I sold my car last night and the new owner is heading to Belize today -and the Free Zone and do a turn-and-burn. Don't worry, I still have another car for Free Zoning but am worried that peeple will talk if we go Free Zoning together.
* Opening of roadway really had nothing to do with me selling - someone wanted it more than I did....and I have a "spare".

You are right Al, on-off ramps are horrible. No sense at all. No space. I am waiting to read the Por Esto too.
Oh, and the merge lanes......why bother even doing them????' NO ONE knows how to use them!! . People either STOP on them and wait for all the traffic from Tulum to go by or they overtake you while you're cruising waiting to get on the freaking highway!!!

SNAPPY, ARE YOU SURE THAT YOU ACTUALLY DROVE ON THE NEW OVERHEAD HIGHWAY.
LAURA, I COULDN'T AGREE WITH YOU MORE. SOON TO COME: ACCIDENTS GALORE. SNAPPY, TRUST US ON THIS AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK WHEN YOU ACTUALLY DRIVE ON THE NEW OVERHEAD HIGHWAY IN AN UNALTERED STATE OF MIND.

But, if you can stay alive, it takes 5 min. from the light at Centro Maya to the Arco Vial light (115 th) on the north end of town. That was about a 13 min ride if all the lighs cooperted-I like it, living south of town it makes the drive to most places north easy or I should say easier!

you should calm down al

you know it is rude to yell on the interwebz

the on and off ramps are not so good

does this mean you will not be using the overpass??
as for me, i will use it with great care

WOW!!!! drove it last night from north to south- 3 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BUT! This am was on the south part, on the side lane near Holiday inn express and this IDIOT in front of me decides to go on the bridge and STOPS in the midlle of the freaking lane!!!! Just UNDER the two signs wher eit says YOU CANNOT MERGE THERE. The policeman, standing right under the same signs, insults him and LETS HIM GO.

are you suggesting there are bad drivers in pdc??

I think the worse part is actually not driving like them. I still get so angry, should just do as they do.

I am calm and cool as the proverbial cucumber. Friends have things planned for me most days and every night while I am in Boca. Will return to Playa next week to rest up.

Had the best fish tacos/wrap today ever...........Talia's in Boca. great but $11/each. Still great.

Keep driving the overpass with your flashers on.

NEW ROADWAY: ACCIDENTS WAITING TO HAPPEN. A BOON TO POR ESTO'S GRIZZLE PHOTOS I AM SURE. GREAT FOR SKIPSUE AND EVERYONE THAT WANTS TO AVOID PLAYA IN STYLE. IT WON'T STOP ME FROM USING IT NOT UNLESS THAT I KNOW YOU ARE DRIVING ON IT THE SAME TIME AS I PLAN TO.

I just hope taxi drivers won't be allowed on it

[diogeron]

It's the inevitable underbelly of the unenviable overpass, silly girl
