not having been a member in many years I was surprised to get an email offering a free one year membership.....regardless here's something from their
hotbox everyone (that uses Tecate) should be aware of.
WARNING: When exiting Mexico out of Tecate the last right turn there is a stop light. A stop sign has been placed at the stop light and everyone must
stop at the stop sign even if the stop light is green. I received a ticket for not stopping at the stop sign even when the stop light was green.DaliDali - 8-29-2018 at 12:00 PM
The "last right turn"? Is this the right turn into the U.S. inspection driveway... otherwise it is left turns when you reach the border road. I was
there a few days ago and saw nothing different.
David....if the approach to the gate is from more central Tecate and south of the plaza park..... and then along the railroad tracks E/B, and leading
to MX 2 libre eastbound.......there is a right turn there with a stop sign. It's the one where a driver has to rack his neck, to see back W/B for
approaching east bound traffic.
A new signal I am clueless....if that is what the OP had relayed.

Well, where ever in Tecate this is, it is clear, if you see a stop sign: STOP!
Well, except that it is common in Mexico for a traffic light to be added to an intersection, and the former stop sign is never removed. I guess that
wasnt park of the install contract.
Yet the stop sign, rightfully, is ignored. The traffic light takes precedent.David K - 8-29-2018 at 05:18 PM
Sure, and as in most cases when in Rome...
Tecate has a reputation for ticketing gringos over all sorts of special rules that don't apply to others... like a dog in the back seat not wearing a
seatbelt, etc.
I drove through Tecate twice (Aug 15 southbound, Aug 18 northbound) and saw no mix of stop signs with signals. I didn't even see a police officer. I
guess I just live right?JZ - 8-30-2018 at 08:32 AM
Why do you delete half the posts you make WillardGuy.
You posted after DK last night and now it's gone.
I've noticed you doing this about 50 times. willardguy - 8-30-2018 at 09:35 AM

well you read it, it wasn't directed at anyone, it simply said along the lines of "hey im just passing along information I thought would be useful"
yes I do sometimes delete comments that are benign or not germane to the conversation.....so?
but im sure glad you're keeping track!AKgringo - 8-30-2018 at 09:58 AM
Willardguy, I also occasionally delete my own posts for the same reasons, and wish more people would do the same. The fact that nobody seems to have
noticed my deletions means I have made the right calls! This post will probably join the other deletions after a while.
Meanwhile, I am waiting for the challenge to your posting a 'second hand report'! A helpful warning is not enough, we need names, dates, GPS
coordinates, and photos if you've got them!

Nothing wrong with removing posts that no longer serve a purpose or have been quoted, to "clean-up" a thread. I was quoted twice in this thread, so I
just now deleted the two replies I made. Less mumbo-jumbo to read through can be a good thing!
