:-) wouldn't you agree that most taxis on the island are rolling buckets of rust that will break an axle, leaf spring or loose a wheel if they hit a substantial speed bump at a reasonable speed. My cab driver always drives slow for fear of the cabs molecules not resembling orderly on deceleration.

Elbert - You have a very special taxi driver; he must own the vehicle. I don't think most drivers are owners and could care less about any damage done. $#!t they even speed in town and pass everything they can. We are going to have a virtual straight-a-way from north of Grand Caribe to the Bamboo house and there are NO resorts in this area.\

I just took a ride from Chetumal to Cancun and there are big speed bumps and EVERYONE slows for them - BECAUSE - they get tickets if they don't. I think the town does not want to give out speeding tickets for the same reason they do not pursue collecting property taxes.

I have a small number of taxi drivers that I use and recommend to others - they are the most conscience ones that I have found on the island.

100% correct!

I only have one call ncern regarding the road.
With no culverts/drainage being installed, and no way to seal off the edges of the roadway.. The first big rain event will wash away the sand/hardpack edges, cover the roadway,and undermine the concrete. It will start cracking and collapsing in no time.
Much sooner then the "20 years" they have stated.

And all this would happen with NO trucks being allowed across the bridge.

But it will be nice will it lasts.

Should be no problem with speeding if they leave that "slow" sign there.

Recognized as such Miss Harriet (a joke) simply tongue in cheek, completely so ("natal" meaning the place where someone (or something) was born...

It doesn't look like there is enough room to pass slower vehicles. This is a good way to slow down speeders but will also create road rage in the process.
