RickS Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 I know that it's not quite 'high season' yet but wondering how the traffic is these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 It's OK early morning but it can get really bad and very very slow during the afternoon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiko Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 Just the other day when I was at the light in La Floresta I got a flat tire. So I got out and changed the tire without losing my place in line. Traffic is the same as it always was. 😀 1 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 Worse than ever thanks to that traffic light disaster area in front of Walmart plus just total overload combined with all the lights in Ajijic. Our friends' daughter goes to school out by the west side (used to be Pemex) and taking her to school from Riberas and picking up has turned into 40 minutes or more. Used to take 15. It is not the expats IMO, fact is Mexicans in Jalisco continue to acquire cars at a very high rate. I saw something not long ago that indicated the number of cars in the state has gone up in some multiples over the population. True locally I think as well. Add on top of that the local traffic "engineers" are still applying 50 year old technology and you have the recipe for the perfect parking lot. We go out and do things early in the morning and never go out from Friday to Sunday if can be avoided. Of course you living in Colorado are no stranger to traffic jams, I'll wager. Same high level of growth issues there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vetteforron Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 One of the reasons I left. I was there two weeks ago OMG. Construction everywhere. I am sure it will get better. Ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringal Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 We had a meal at Gosha's recently and since they are largely open to the street, I observed a much greater number of heavy duty trucks passing. This must be due to the many construction projects on the West side. I don't things will get better any time soon.😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vetteforron Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 I Moved to Ajijic 21 years ago. There was a group of us which hung together. We seemed to start at Tom's bar behind the church. (that was the name) Vicki now passed and many others We would roam to wherever there was a band playing. Still a Burro now and then in the street. Regino on his horse which would wait patiently on the street till Regino would ride home drunk. What a hoot we had. Then came change which happens everywhere. 😪 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 It happens everywhere that gets "discovered". It's one of the reasons that we left San Miguel de Allende. However, people who don't know the way it "used" to be will still fall in love with San Miguel or San Pancho or this area. I remember when Ajijic was so boring that I thought we'd roll over and die and was why I chose San Miguel in 1996. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyjillin Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 I hardly ever venture to Ajijic. Chapala traffic is weird sometimes but hey, I ain't in no hurry,I is retired and if need be,I venture forth early for an appointment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
