Speed Bump Installation on Periférico Norte Causes Major Traffic Delays

The installation of speed bumps on the central lanes of Periférico Norte in Cuautitlán Izcalli, State of Mexico, is causing severe traffic congestion. The construction work, aimed at enforcing the 80 km/h speed limit, has reduced traffic flow from three lanes to two in the affected area.

As of this morning, personnel from the State of Mexico government are actively working on Periférico Norte, specifically near La Quebrada. The goal is to prevent motorists from exceeding the designated speed limit on the central carriageway. However, the roadwork has resulted in a substantial traffic jam, with vehicle queues extending up to 5 kilometers.

The congestion primarily affects the central lanes heading towards Tepotzotlán, with delays beginning as far back as Valle Dorado in Tlalnepantla. Traffic is also slow on the side lanes in the same direction, as drivers attempt to bypass the heavy traffic on the central routes. This situation is significantly impacting commuters and local traffic.
