We use to drive Mazatlan to Rincon de Guayabitos on free roads, yes a long day's drive, and very busy. Likely worse nowadays. One year we did what at the time was the just newly finished cuota towards Tepic, very nice and almost no traffic. But the fee for the drive, whatever it was, almost knocked my socks off! A friend we sometimes traveled with insisted on taking that cuota and there, just north of Tepeic, we parted company, he driving southwest via Campostella whereas we passed near San Blas as we traveled south. At Rincon in good time we wondered where he'd gotten to, finding he'd gotten only as far as Las Veras; he thought it would be faster.
Before that,the big drawback on that free road before Tepic was the total lack of a passing lane, at least in those several times we drove south on it, 2003 to 2008. The slow diesel trucks, groaning uphill, in a haze of smoke, were bad news for trying to make good time. Lots of people taking chances while overtaking.
