Mexican Federal Highway - High Speed With Restricted Access Roads

High Speed With Restricted Access Roads

Restricted access roads, known as Autopistas or Supercarreteras, are limited access expressways with predetermined points-of-access interchanges. Access to these roads is generally prohibited for pedestrians and animal traction vehicles, as fences are located at a side of the road for most of the length. Autopistas are a divided highway with 4 or more lanes. Supercarreteras are always two-lane highways and are most commonly found in mountain areas. The maximum speed limit is 110 km/h (68 mph) for cars and 95 km/h (59 mph) for buses and trucks. In some cases, the maximum speed can be 120 km/h (75 mph).

Famous quotes containing the words high, speed, restricted, access and/or roads:

    It is not their bones or hide or tallow that I love most. It is the living spirit of the tree, not its spirit of turpentine, with which I sympathize, and which heals my cuts. It is as immortal as I am, and perchance will go to as high a heaven, there to tower above me still.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Life is too short to waste
    In critic peep or cynic bark,
    Quarrel or reprimand:
    ‘Twill soon be dark;
    Up, heed thine own aim, and
    God speed the mark!
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Love is like some fresh spring, first a stream and then a river, changing its aspect and its nature as it flows to plunge itself in some boundless ocean, where restricted natures only find monotony, but where great souls are engulfed in endless contemplation.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    Make thick my blood,
    Stop up th’ access and passage to remorse,
    That no compunctious visitings of nature
    Shake my fell purpose.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
    I took the one less traveled by,
    And that has made all the difference.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
