After all the laffs are done, be careful just south of Ejido San Lucas, and at the entrance to San Bruno (also about 1/2 mile further south) and near
Palo Verde.
The federales have been really active there lately and they ain't using tecate cans painted black nor hair driers.
They will ruin your day if you are speeding!

when in the central desert (and many other spots, i presume) the posted speed limit is 60 km/h where there is a straight-away for the next 1-2 miles,
no hills, etc.....
are you really supposed to slow down from 110 km/h?????? is this the same type of speed trap "los frailes" is talkig about???

What speed trap are you talking about, Woody?
Is that innuendo that you are gathering?
All I am offering is advice to a traveler with a legitimate question.
Slow down if you want, speed if you want. Who gives a big rats arse?

only asking if the situation is the same. a 35 mph (35 years old, probably) sign in the middle of nowhere that the cops can point to and say, "you're
speeding!"
i don't know the area you're refering to that well. that's why i ask...

BCS is using radar in many of the populated areas because people have been ignoring the 30-40-50-60 KM limits near populated places.
It seems no different to me than what is encountered in the US, all over California you have radar functioning to 'entrap' the speeders.
And for the record, if you exceed the speed limit, as I many times do, you are speeding. There is no place on Mex 1 south of Ensenada where the speed
limit is greater than 80 KM.
If you are in one of those desolate areas, and encounter a 60 km sign, for whatever reason, and do not slow down and get caught by radar, don't blame
the Federal police. Look at your own speedometer!

Another spot with frequent radar is the south end of Ensenada, near the military bases. They work in teams, almost as though it's an academy drill.
Those are city police. Past Chapultepec going south on HWY 1, the feds take over. This entire stretch of road, HWY 1 through Ensenada to the
south side of Maneadero is posted 60km/35 mph. Almost nobody drives that slowly but, you should.

Mexican joke
First Gringo: I got clocked doing 30km over the speed limit.
Second Gringo: Clocked? The cops don't have radar.
First Gringo: So?

Just went through radar, top of Mirador hill, heading south. Right after the posted speed limit drops from 65 to 55. Be careful out there.
