Speed limits in Mexico

The first maximum speed law for Mexico was created in 1903 by then president Porfirio Díaz. It established a maximum of 10 km/h for small and crowded streets, and 40 km/h elsewhere.

Current speed limits are:
 * 10 km/h in parking lots and residential areas.
 * 60 km/h in streets with no speed limit.
 * 60 - 80 km/h on urban arterial roads (ejes, calzadas, beltways and freeways).
 * 80 km/h in avenues with no speed limit.
 * 70 - 90 km/h on rural two-lane roads.
 * 90 km/h on two-lane highways.
 * 90 - 100 km/h on major highways inside cities.
 * 100 km/h on major highways leaving or approaching towns or cities.
 * 110 km/h on major highways.

No Mexican highway allows going beyond 110 km/h, but the speed limit is enforced generally above 130 km/h only.
