"A Fourth Car Absolutely Buggered!" - Deadly Mexican Street

Krikey….that’s got er, mate. Fair dinkum.

Scary, the street grooves look worn smooth, oily, and probably get icy in winter….and holy shit is it steep! I’m surprised the tiny bollards hold up to that abuse.

BSRsaid:

Perhaps this one? The narrator is a little annoying in this one.

Google Earth - Paso Florentino takes you right to the street.

BSRsays...

No problem. I'm sure you'd do the same for us.

You wouldn't happen to work at a nuclear power plant would you?

C-notesaid:

Thanks guys. I did not notice it wasn't working right. Too many hours with no sleep.

Lowest temperature in Mexico City is <9 deg. F in 2011…it doesn’t freeze every year, but it does freeze there regularly.

Buttlesaid:

Here's another video compilation. It's really steep, but, being in Mexico city, never freezes.

But I now see I misread, it was in a MexicAN city, ciudad Juarez,not Mexico City. In my defense, it came up googling “ mexico city record low temperature”, but I should have read more carefully.

Ice will be extremely rare, agreed, but not unheard of. I’d be more afraid of oil….even just a tiny bit of water makes me say “nope” and I extreme off-roaded and desert raced in the past.

Buttlesaid:

Wikipedia says the record low is 24F, which is admittedly below freezing. I am skeptical of the 9F figure, where did you see it?

I grew up close to Cd Juarez (Las Cruces, NM), and would be surprised if the record low there were not below 0F. It's been down to -10F in Las Cruces twice since I've been alive.

Lived near an intersection where one got used to hearing auto crashes. Whenever it sounded like someone dropping a refrigerator off the back of a truck - it was time to call 911.

Know of a house in CA that was hit 7 or 8 times because of the road design. Took years for homeowners to get the officials to improve it.

it'd be the home to the right of the 'turnaround' area behind the rock (which might have been the homeowners' first solution to the problem - a few deaths just might get officials to take it seriously). Also if you zoom in on the north side of the house, there is a patio doorway. That's the area where it got hit last. Maybe it was easier than fixing the wall?

the high traffic street use to just slope off into a residential street. some folks didn't know the road ended despite some signage. most just travel not knowing it ended couldn't stop in time or missed the turn at high speed.
