Trip Report Nogales to San Carlos

Just another note about the Tope. The worst I have experienced are the slanted ones, that is, NOT at right angles to the roadbed, so your wheels hit them all at different times, and they try to twist your vehicle. The big ones that go unseen can be the most distructive. A friend with a C-Class, towing, hit one somewhere in Mexico that had been left near the entrance to a bigger highway. On his way to merge, he gathered up speed, not knowing they had left a tope just before the toll road. His solar batteries fell out of the vehicle, onto the road, the bed came off its supports, slide out was thereafter off kilter. He disposed of the vehicle pretty fast and bought a new A-Class.
