phil in mexico Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 I am wondering who is responsible for the placement of speed limit signs, coming into to chapala from Guadalajara a new sign 30kph tis a new sign I dropped down from 60k to 30 and was almost rear end by folks coming from Guadalajara, several new signs are appearing and some are a joke. Now I know the signs are just a suggestion but I have a favorite it is in my fracc 10kph 10 I can hardly ride my motorcycle that slow and keep it up. Sorry I'm just ranting I still would like to know what government agency is responsible for placement of speed limit signs and how they justify the speed Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chapalence Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 I subscribe to the notion that one should drive according to road conditions no matter what the signs say. The speed of other driver's is a road condition. This I learned from the California Highway Patrol officer who pulled me over many years ago and gave me a warning for driving the speed limit in heavy, fast moving traffic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainecoons Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 They are notorious for using it on Mex 15 around Mexico City. Sooner or later they'll all discover what the cops NOB have known for years, speed enforcement is a great little racket. Matters not if the speed limit bears little resemblance to reality, that is even better as they can rip more motorists off. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richmond Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 When the police start using radar guns - then worry. At least three years ago, I saw several police officers training with radar guns opposite Plaza Interlago on the Libramiento. It is just a matter of time before it becomes the norm.

ednet94 Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Federal government implemented new speed limits for all Mexico last month. Local and state governments have one year to update all the signs. https://politica.expansion.mx/mexico/2022/05/19/estos-son-nuevos-limites-velocidad-2022 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedros Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 It was not long ago that the speed limit on the libramiento between San Antonio and the exit to Chapala changed 9 times in that few kilomters. That kept you wondering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
