Mexican Federal Highway 1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 окт 2023
- Mexican Federal Highway 1 forms the spine of Baja. Though heavily traveled at it's northern and southern extremes, it's midsection feels more like a back road than a road with national road with a 1 designation. Let's head to Cabo and back!
Control City Freak is updated weekly and covers every two digit Interstate Highway in America as well as other roads. I'll be showing control city signs on each 1 and 2 digit (2di) Interstate Highway in the continental United States and will strive to make as complete a record as possible, as well as various other highways. I'll also be getting into the roadgeek weeds here and there, showing downtown skylines and state border crossings, and making corny jokes. I welcome all to join my geeky tour of every primary Interstate in the country!

Regarding your question about the way kilometer posts work at minute 6:15, kilometerage is based on a start and end city, not per state like in the US. In Mexico, nobody really uses route numbers to navigate. Instead, we call roads by their start and end city. So for example, The Tijuana-Ensenada highway will have km 0 start at Tijuana and end at Ensenada. Past Ensenada, the km posts will reset to 1 up to the next control city (which I've no clue what it is).
Right on, great explanation. Thanks!
Very useful info there.
Next week, stay tuned for a potential special guest appearance of Limon
Can't wait for another one of Todd's gripes about Limon either!!! This is gonna be funny once it comes out!!!
I hope he can do this video with a straight face roflmao.
CCF's meme city
Lol, yeah, 470 has a decent amount of Limon
Watch him just not even acknowledge it's existence this time
6:20 answered your question of the 220 km post with Santa Rosalia being 220 km away. They divide the road between 'major towns' and have that as stretches. So for there you got a Guerrero Negro - Santa Rosalia stretch.
A video that no one had ever dared to make on one of my favorite highways in North America. Thank you control city freak!
Glad you liked it!
I found out something last night at work. Interstate 696 in metro Detroit. When planning it, it was initially designated to be interstate 98. Haven't looked into any sources to verify since the first thing I did when I got home was watch this video. But if it I'd true, I think that makes a good case for the next 3 digit you do on a non chief week.
14:59 Todd will be in San Diego just in time for kickoff by himself while the actual chargers are in LA now…
There aren’t many places that would be ideal controls were this America, but I think I have a list: San Diego-Tijuana-Rosario (free only)-Ensenada-Lazaro Cardenas-Guerrero Negro-Santa Rosalia-Mulege-Loreto-Ciudad Insurgentes-Ciudad Constitucion--La Paz-San Jose del Cabo-Cabo San Lucas.
The entire route between Ensenada and La Paz is so empty, it scares me. It looks like none of the communities in Baja California (the state, not including Sur) south of Ensenada do much as have traffic lights! Then again, it may be a fun challenge driving the length of Mexico (if the Baja California peninsula is anything to go off of).
Nice!
Awesome video. Would be cool to see you do MX-2 which is parallel to I-2 in Texas and follows the entire border to Tijuana.
Yes! especially a video at Mexican Federal HWY 57 is switched to US HWY 57 in Eagle Pass/Piedras Negras, Port of Entry.
@@luisenriquealdana6709 HEY!! I’ve travelled that for over 3 decades, I have family in Allende lol. Small world.
Excelente video! Fun Fact 1; the "D" on the Mexican Federal Road system, its suffix for directo or direct in English. Think of it as the 400 series in Ontario, just that these are quick Libramiento or Bypass from the main trunk route with a cost. Some BGS signs in Mexico wont post as couta/toll as Motorist will assume would see the letter or suffix "D" on the shield. Fun Fact 2; if seeing a Blank Federal or Mexican State Shield on a Mexican BGS. It's still maintained by the Secretary of Transports and Communications (Mexican DOT). The Control City is the main focus point on directions, rather than following numbers like in the United States. This was a great observation of Mexican "Ciudades Directas", Control City in spanish btw. Gracias y buen viaje!
Excelente Video sobre la Carretera Federal 1 México. Aprendí algunas cosas nuevas sobre la Carretera. Emocionado por el vídeo E-470 y C-470.
Translation: Excellent Video on Mexico Federal Hwy 1. I leraned a few new things about the Highway. Excited for the E-470 and C-470 Video.
Thanks!
Only experience i have with this road is i remember seeing the signs when i along in San Diego......
Awesome video you are the GOAT of interstates and highways in general!!
I wasn’t expecting this. I’ll have to post my list later since I’ve had zero exposure to this route. As for the game in Germany, I thought it would be in Munich, considering it is home to Allianz Arena, the only German stadium listed as an additional NFL stadium.
You should do Canadian Highways that would be interesting. Thanks for the great video!
@DavidSmith-fs6pi I’d be in favor of that, having clinched the entirety of the mainline TCH this past summer sans the segments served by ferry.
@@tylermarchand2996 That sounds really cool😁
I think he wants to do the 401 through Toronto sometime.
Although not a big town, I would add "Guerrero Negro" between La Paz and Ensenada (both ways). It's basically the settlement at the border between the two states (15K people). Also, the "Laguna ojo de liebre" is there, which is where the whales come in the winter, so it IS a bit of a marker for tourists...
Loreto is a smallish resort town as well, in Baja Sur, maybe that one would also make some sense.
If the new planned superport at Punta Colonet is built, along with a railroad connection, population in the area will greatly expand.
Some maps actually show Blvd Aeropuerto (which parallels CA-905 Otay Mesa) as part of Highway 1.
Todd the KM posts go north to south and the KM are according to one major city to another major city based on the name of the road (example Juarez and Chihuahua City are about 300 kms and descend as you go south towards Chihuahua City) Libramento is Mexico’s way of saying Bypss. If not mistaken Cuota is shorter and Free Road is longer in Mexico
Usually Cuotas are the better maintained roads designed similar to US interstates with smoother curves and grades with wide lanes and shoulders, and grade separation. Although, not all of them are four lane divided highways. There are many that are currently one lane in each direction.
After watching this, makes me wonder why Caltrans doesn't even have To Mexico Federal Highway 1 shields on Interstate 5 beginning in at the very least Downtown San Diego or even in the San Ysidro district of the city.
True
@JessicaKasumi1990 MX 1 shields? We ain’t got no MX 1 shields! We don’t need no MX 1 shields! I don’t have to show you any stinking MX 1 shields!
I saw an opportunity to drop an iconic quote (paraphrased, obviously), so I took it…
Are you gonna do a remastered version of I-5
Yeah but not anytime soon
you should do federal highway 15 or federal highway 40 next. 40 has come crazy mountain roads west of Durango
Awesome video! If you do more MX highways you should cover MX Route 101 in Tamaulipas.
@guillermogarcia7648 I looked up this particular route. I’d be amazed if there’s any recent imagery (within the past 10 years), considering the current “uses” of this highway…
@@tylermarchand2996they did recently update the street route imagery for most of the route. I drive this route every year to visit family but yes it’s not the the safest route especially 10 years ago when it was considered one of the most dangerous roads due to cartel wars.
Also, he should cover Mexican Federal HWY 180, from the start from Matamoros, Tamaulipas to Cancun, Quintana Roo. The Gulf Highway, the longest in Mexico. saludos!
great video!
Thanks!
Fun Fact: Mexican Federal Highway 1 is longer than I-5 in California. Mex Fed. 1 is 1,063 mi long, where as I-5 in California is 797 mi long. But if you combined these two routes into one, the length of this route would be 1,860 mi long, only 63 mi shorter than I-95 the longest north-south Interstate in the US.
True but a little unfair since it’s California versus 2 states in Mexico for the total length :)
@@CajunGators The US state of California and the Baja Peninsula used to be one region back during the days of the Spanish Empire known as 'Las Californias'. It really wasn't until when the area became Mexico when it was divided into 'California' and 'Baja California', 'Baja California' simply means 'Lower California' in Spanish.
@@drivingbritt9617 Yes I’m aware, I’m Mexican lol. I was just saying in your comparison of the lengths. No biggie. It was an interest fact I didn’t know about the length. Thank you for sharing.
@@CajunGators No problem. :)
Took this one end-to-end in 1991 for the eclipse. Cases could be made for controls of Guerrero Negro (state line), Santa Rosalia (and should have shown more pics of the road leading down to there, it has/ had some gnarly switchbacks), Ciudad Insurgentes (where what I'd call 1E and 1W or rather 1O come back together, with 1E signed for Loreto). And I'm guessing in the context of 1/19 "larga" and "corta" are literally the long and short way...?
Hi, can you do U.S 60 next please?
4:50 The sign is actually one item on two lines: 'Antigua Ruta del Vino' loosely translates to 'Old Wine (Region) Highway.' 'Antigua Ruta' alone says merely 'old highway' so it'd be used rarely or never.
Will I 495 MA be the episode for when the Chiefs face the Patriots in December? The highway does go through Foxborough.
US 1 goes through Gillette stadium but it's part of a wicked long road from key west to Ft Kent up in the north of the north east.
Probably 495 yeah
@rngfootball759 That’s not the only example of a stadium being best served by a wicked long highway; there’s Empower and Lucas Oil via U.S. 40, Soldier via U.S. 41, Mercedes Benz via U.S. 90, and Nissan via U.S. 31. Bonus goes to TIAA via a special spur of U.S. 1.
At 3:40, is that a mission? It looks like it's a hotel that's out of business with Mission style architecture.
My interstate hero, on map ranger there is a video from Scranton To the ny border and at 3:39 there's an amazing sign to make us happy, especially for PA Standards so check it out
Get ready for the very next video 😂
This road is a whole new world for me. Thanks for sharing it! I did some further research: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_Federal_Highway_1
Do US60 sometime 😂
@doomslayerdave That’ll be at least two videos, maybe more if CA 60 through the Inland Empire is included…
You think you’ll ever remake your I-5 video in the future?
Yes, but it's not on the docket for the next few months.
I recently found a drive lapse of MX 1 from Tijuana to the Cabos. I’ve only gotten as far as Ensenada southbound (9 minutes into a 2 hour video going at 0.25x speed, and even this is 2.5x real-time). As of 2018, it costs roughly $6 in tolls between Tijuana and Ensenada alone. Assuming the rate remains constant all the way down the peninsula, this might make I 95 through the BosWash corridor look very affordable; and that route is easily $60 in tolls!
The toll route only goes as far as Ensenada.
The Autobahn will be intetesting..
Are you gonna do a remaster on I-5
I-5 was so early on the channel, and such a vital road, I think it demands a redo.
Mod's the way it should be:
(SOUTH): Tijuana, Rosarito/Ensenada, Ensenada, La Paz, Cabo San Lucas
(NORTH): San Jose del Cabo, La Paz, Ensenada, Tijuana, San Diego
Solid.
@mxderate I think you should consider adding more controls in the very empty desert. I just looked up the driving distance between Ensenada and La Paz. SEVENTEEN HOURS. There NEED to be more controls between the two.
My ideal population threshold for Mexico (40% the population of the U.S.) along FREEWAY-type roads is 20k, but the only community exceeding this threshold between the aforementioned cities is Ciudad Constitucion, with 44k. And most of MX 1 is two lanes, so my personal standards automatically loosen up. I admit very few communities in Baja California south of Ensenada are truly ideal (I don't even think there are any traffic lights!), but on a two lane road, they're necessary...
@@tylermarchand2996 I don't think it matters how far the next significant city is. The cities in between are incredibly small.
Although it is mostly a 2-lane road, it is used like an Interstate Hwy.
Libramento: Bypass.
If the letter D and/or the word CUOTA appear, that's a toll road in Mexico.
If your beloved Chiefs ever come to Costa Rica...
Why are you doing Mexico, and not the U.S.?
At nice job Todd ccf
Interesting that 470 in Colorado is a State Highway rather than a companion interstate highway to I 70.
There’s a whole story about that, but basically the counties that the highway was supposed to connect ran out of money and so they turned to this Portuguese company, and they gave them a 99 year lease on the road but unfortunately they got swindled because they couldn’t build any roadways that would compete soooo, yeah they got scammed
Limon is actually Spanish for lemon.
Based on the Chiefs schedule, here’s my guess for the future videos (after Denver and Germany):
Eagles: I-476
Raiders: Bruce Woodbury Beltway
Packers: WI-29
Bills: I-190 (or Queen Elizabeth Way?)
Patriots: I-495 (Boston)
Bengals: I-275
Chargers again: US-101?
Damn we in Mexico now?
You know how I’ll be doing US-x66s for Halloween? Well, US 166 intersects K-15 and that is the only Intersection I didn’t get on 166. Would you like me to show it in your honor?
Sure! But to be fair, I’ve never been to that corner of Kansas.
@@ControlCityFreak That means you’ll be seeing some new scenery. Also, thanks a ton for accepting this offer.
1st!
"City of Insurgents" thatt doesn't sound dangerous at all
First up here,
Not really. There are other people also reaching here at the same time.
@@Theworstnoobever ok
It's Avenida Revolucion, it's spanish in mexico. but since your america.(Not mexican)
Well in this video we will see how good you are with Spanish...
Aeropuerto is airport in Spanish.
Do US 74
@andrewdevore4799 That’s a potentially nice idea: Chattanooga to Wilmington. It’ll also be perfect for the NFL cities theme, as I believe it goes by Bank of America (I 277 does too, but I don’t think it’s long enough to warrant its own video).
You say pesos not us dollars,
Hey, this is Sam Sedd. I don't want to pirate your channel, Todd, but I'm planning to create videos about fixing the control cities on signs (named Control City Fixer). I took inspiration from your channel, so I'd appreciate it if you'd provide your opinion on not just primaries, but secondary control cities as well. I do have my own bias, though, so please don't take offense to that. But one question: Is it okay if I post links to your channel in the description of all my videos? (again, no channel piracy intended) Also, I'd appreciate it if you let me feature you in any of my videos (especially, but not specifically, when I get to fixing the Limon signage).
