Baja Road Report - Baja Norte

I drive the roads of Baja Norte frequently. It is important to know that both night time and rainy conditions pose a problem. Sustained rain brings flooding conditions to many areas and pose a extreme danger along the inside lanes (especially) headed north along the coast road. Rocks slide down the steep embankments and end up in the right lane which we are encouraged to travel unless passing, this is particular dangerous as you approach a been in the road with limited visibility. Under these conditions travel at night is not recommended. Also entering Tijuana along the boarder, rain of almost any amount brings flooding... allow more time to compensate for this. As one approaches the boarder crossing be extremely careful as driving habits in both Mexico and the US are very dangerous with unexpected last minute maneuvers.
Soon I plan a trip from Ensenada to Nogales, I will be happy to report the conditions of these roads as well.
