I’ll be going on another roadtrip*.

*: I consider it a road trip because everything I need/do is pretty much inside Mexico City.

Now, it might seem like little, but that small stretch of highway is part of the more important Highway of the Sun that links Acapulco with Mexico City and Oaxaca City with Mexico City; its the corridor that connects all of the Southwest coast of the pacific. Together with the 150D,134D, and the 57D (in its two beinging points) they form the most important highways in and out of the city for commerce and tourism.

it is also the Federal Highway 95D, meaning it was the sight of a huge eight metre wide sinkhole that claimed the political careers of many assholes and idiots, but more drastically and far sadder....the lives of two people last summer:

So, if you’re planning a road trip to this tierra caliente of mine, you’re in luck because you’ll be hearing from someone who has driven only two of those four highways meaning I’ll be learning along with you .

Aaaa, ahaha... pues esta opuesto a donde voy.

Estoy seguro que he ido alguna ves.... de pequeño, pero ahora salgo poco del DF por coche (hasta a Acapulco la ultima ves que fui fue en avion!) entonces ando algo despistado respecto a los destinos cercanos al DF. intentare ir pronto si es tan magico como dices!

Clarification: My Spanish is rusty and I’m ashamed I let it get that way.

Is there a numbering or naming convention for them like there is for the IHS in the US?

Its actually not that bad, but only if you do the toll highways.

Thenohtrage thing about the sinkhole is that the engineering teams of the federal government said it was bound to happen and the company ignored them, so did the local authorities

Supposedly there is but it really looks more like a messy map.

The only convention is that toll roads have a D attached to the name to thenote the toll

That’s handy. We have a lot of signage for toll roads and toll sections because they’re fairly rare here...

But the numbering convention on the IHS roads is surprisingly handy.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_Highway_System

Basically odd ones digits are north-south, even are east-west, lower tens digits are further south or west (depending on the ones digit) and higher ones are further north or east, the hundreds digit is even for loop roads and odd for spur roads.

Toll roads are actually very common here, and run along the normal roads (cuota vs libre)
