I have found that, overall, drivers are very courteous-especially along two lane highways. You will generally find that slower moving vehicles will often drive half on the shoulder to give you room to pass. Beware, however, that the same thing is going on in the oncoming lane so you may have two vehicles side by side for a moment driving towards you.

On larger, multi lane, highways, you may encounter overhead signs with names of cities and arrows. These can be tricky as a straight arrow may continue straight or exit abruptly toward the city mentioned. This is tricky because those signs do not indicate which direction or highway number you are on, just the destination city. Even with GPS taking the right exit or staying on the correct road can be tricky.

Also, GPS is a must for large city driving. If you get turned around, you will generally find yourself in a maze of one way streets and dead ends.

Yeah, but even lost you'll still in beautiful Mexico --

As someone who loves walking and cycling, I am very curious about experiences with car drivers. For example: In small towns in the US, drivers often stop to let pedestrians cross the street as soon as they appear to want to do so, but in Quebec (Canada), drivers are terribly rude and impatient. You must run or wait until there are no cars around if you want to cross a road.

Even where there are crosswalks, it's as if most people don't know about them or don't care at all and are in their own little world, with their heads up their asses!

Regarding road safety, I would recommend only driving during the day, especially in the countryside. You never know when a black bull or other animal May be snoozing on the road. Also, I find that drivers are super nice. You will see people driving half on the shoulder to allow faster drivers to pass. Just keep in mind that oncoming traffic is the same and someone may be barreling towards you and be taking part of your lane.

Also, when on major highways and toll roads (cuotas) it is best to follow GPS. Signs can be confusing as highways are referred to by the cities they connect. For example, a sign may indicate that you are driving towards Querétaro or on the Querétaro-Mexico (City) highway.
