Low Speed With Open Access Roads
Low speed/open access roads, known as Autopistas or Carreteras, conform the majority of the road network. Autopistas are a divided highway with 4 or more lanes. Most of these Autopistas were single carriageway roads converted into dual carriageway by building an adjacent road body next to the existing one. Carreteras are free and in most cases two-lane highways that cover almost all of Mexico. These roads have interchanges at major roads, but most intersections are at-grade. The maximum speed limit is 100 km/h (62 mph) for cars and 95 km/h (59 mph) for buses and trucks.

Famous quotes containing the words speed, open, access and/or roads:
“If it be aught toward the general good,
Set honor in one eye, and death i’th’ other,
And I will look on both indifferently;
For let the gods so speed me as I love
The name of honor more than I fear death.”

Stop up th’ access and passage to remorse,
That no compunctious visitings of nature
Shake my fell purpose.”

holy forest, as travelers
followed the Zohar’s dusty
shimmering roads ...”
