Absolutely don't drive at night on Hwy 1. On Ensenada main street you could - with lamp posts every 50ft and decent road surface, but not on Hwy 1 in the middle of nowhere.
Cows, yes. Topez - including those unmarked. Vados - rarely any warning sign. Potholes, missed chunks of pavement, road repairs in the middle of disrepair - with traffic signs uninformative or missing altogether. Big eight-wheelers doing 60 on the curve where you don't see it until it's too late, his wheels about a foot in your lane, when there is only one lane each direction, each lane 9ft wide, and there is no shoulder.
Daylight and reasonable speed is the only thing that will keep you safe.
