  • Mexican auto insurance is required by law — buy online before you go
  • Speed limits are in km/h: 40 km/h in town, 80-100 km/h on the highway
  • Fill up with gas in Arizona before crossing the border
  • Stay on Highway 8 from Lukeville to Rocky Point — it's well-maintained and patrolled
  • Drive during daylight only between the border and Puerto Peñasco
  • Roundabouts (glorietas) are common — yield to traffic already in the circle
