TWO NEW TOPES FOR BAHÍA ASUNCIÓN
They're big, they're mean and just a day old. On the edge of town. So far, unmarked, unsigned.Cuidado, they are potential spring snappers.

true story.
1985 south of Pto Escondido, Oaxaca we were jamming along the highway in a rental car and saw a sign that said TOPE. me and my buddy looked at each
other like WTF is a tope? when we looked back there was the mother of all speedbumps right in front of the car. barely time to let off the gas before
becomeing airborn!!! that mutha must have been 18 inches high and 3 feet deep.
thankfully it was rental!

The one at the top of that hill is well needed --- the stop sign didn't slow a lot of people down.

My first trip to Belize, in a rented Samurai, headed for the Guatemala border all the heavily signed "Sleeping Policemen" had been scraped of the road
surface and after slamming on the brakes, I'd glide over smooth pavement. Until the one where I didn't slow down!
All I know for sure is I thought I'd broken my neck hitting the roof, and that the Suzuki came down entirely on the right front wheel. I crawled over
dark spots on smooth pavement the rest of the day.
Thanks for the warning DE. Sorry for the highjack.

Whew sure glad I added the word "new"...
Shows my limited travel range. Word is they're going to put more topes along the stretch of Vizcaino - Tortugas highway in Viz.
Pipeline has been down a half dozen days, Saw a minor league repair crew working on it a few days ago about 6 km down from the turnoff. Typical
project, buy quarter inch steel end up with sheet metal...
