The road improved substantially in the last 3-4 years. Dangerous curves have been (mostly) upgraded. Mostly. Plenty of straight stretches where you can see several miles ahead and can do 55 without problem, for 20-30 minutes at a time. Then you speed up to 65 and suddenly hit the section of the "old road" with cracks, no shoulders, and chipped/missing chunks of pavement at the sides. In daytime you can see it, in the night you can't.
When Mex traffic sign says "slow down", - slow down. They are not kidding.
Approach every sharp turn or a crest where you can't see more than few hundred feet, as if there were an eight-wheeler around the corner - or a crazy driver halfway in your lane, heading straight up to you. Because sometimes there will be.
