Hi Autosnelwegen!
Over the weekend, I crossed the border into northern Mexico. (In Chihuahua state, specifically.) Here is a 360-degree photograph from the small border town of Palomas:

This is Federal Route 2 leaving the international crossroads at New Mexico.
In Mexico, road-naming convention is unique. How so? One route number can contain several "branches". Imagine a mainline highway called Route 2. There's a spur off the road in a rural area. That spur is also known as Route 2 -- no other special title is given.
The following video shows Route 2 signage, via overhead gantry, near Palomas:

(This video was taken last year. Route 2 signage is best viewed during the first few seconds of the video.)
In all, Palomas is an interesting haven for those wishing to experience Mexican border towns w/o all the rush and crowds. It's a great place to visit in the spring before 40C temperatures arrive in the summer. To reach Palomas, take Interstate 10 into New Mexico and take a half-hour drive along southbound State Route 11 to reach the destination.
Cheers,
Carl Rogers

Naar aanleiding van een opmerking op zijn site begrijp ik dat wij viatologie bedrijven.
Eindelijk, na al die jaren kan ik deze aandoening een naam geven.
