Rules for surviving on the Mexico Puebla highway. This is what drivers do to avoid becoming victims of crime. The Mexico Puebla highway has become a road where insecurity dictates new rules. Drivers who once traveled without worry now follow unwritten protocols to reach their destination safely. Today we tell you what is happening and what motorists are doing to survive this important Puebla roadway. Between San Marcos [music] Wickstoco in the State of Mexico and San Martín Texmelucan in Puebla, assaults, pursuits, and attacks on vehicles have become part of daily life, so much so that hundreds of people have changed the way they travel. These [music] are the unofficial rules for surviving the Mexico Puebla highway according to drivers. Rule number one, do not travel at night. The most mentioned by all drivers, as they assure that in the early morning the presence of the National Guard practically disappears and with it the feeling of security. Rule number two, Sunday night, don't even try it. Motorists who travel daily on this highway explain that on Mondays and Tuesdays, due to the San Martín Texmelucan market, crimes increase, but under no circumstances should you travel on Sunday night or early Monday morning. Rule number three, beware of bridges. That's [music] right. On pedestrian and vehicular bridges, users say, they often throw objects to puncture tires or stop vehicles. And if you stop, watch out, you are an easy target. Rule number four, distrust the pants vendors. Between Shortla and Mosoc, several motorists speak of scams and possible ambushes. [music] Supposed pants vendors who approach, try to stop vehicles or distract drivers. And rule number five, inform yourself before traveling. Drivers, before entering the Mexico Puebla highway, inform themselves and check social networks to decide at what time, whether or not to cross the highway. The Mexico Puebla highway has ceased to be just a stretch of road. [music] It has become a dangerous highway where motorists travel with fear, merchants survive assaults, and the presence of authority is increasingly scarce. So now you [music] know, learn these new unofficial rules to avoid becoming a victim of crime. Mexican Editorial Organization Daniel Cortés, El Sol de Puebla.
