happyjillin Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 No big deal for those of us in no great rush-eh! Wide and smooth is just fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 Topes to Mexican highway engineers are like heroin to addicts. It is impossible for them to stop. Even where totally illogical, useless, and sometimes dangerous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunFan Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Does anyone know who officially "approves" the installation of topes? SunFan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jubilacion Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 We live in San Juan Cosala and the tope went up this week unannounced as described.... only it was not marked in any way with sign or paint just a black-as-night unfinished large tope lump and I had just been on the road heading toward Axixic the day prior. So when I hit this tope on the carretera it was a real jolt, fortunately a local caught a picture of it on their cell phone! Glad they finally painted the tope yesterday, Friday. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jubilacion Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Thanks for heads-up on SJC topes. The one I crunched was eastbound from The Raquest Club. Surpise.... I'm airborne at 20 mph! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They painted some in Jocotepec and San Juan Cosala. The painting often is done by local volunteers who ask for a handout when you pass. The paint doesn't last very long.
