This is How to Get a Mexican Driver's License

[Jzmackenzie]

Thank you all for your help. I now have a Mexican Driver's License. To assist others, because the online information is wrong.

1. Gather together and make ONE copy (a) your passport, (b) the front AND back of your FM3 visa, © utility bills that have your address on them, (d) your existing VALID drivers license,

2. Go to the Red Cross ambulance office next door to Mexicana Comerical.
Just walk in and say you need a health declaration. You will pay $50pesos for a blood test to determine your blood type. (ie. regardless of the fact that my Medic Alert Bracelet says "B Pos" I still had to have the test.).
The results take one hour (ie. they said one hour and it took just one hour - amazing)
You will then pay $95 pesos to see the medical doctor. You will be interviewed about your health: surgeries, medicine you take, vision and hearing needs, weight (taken) and height (taken).
You will be given a health declaration.

3. Go the the Transito Office. Take the road to Marfil, Yurabuena past the Glorita Santa Fe toward... Puenticillias. Turn around and head back to GTO and see a big clearly marked sign "Oficina del Transito" with an arrow (another amazing occurance) and head up the hill a short distance. The entire BIG building is a dark terra cotta - freshly painted. A nice security guard will tell you to park in a fenced in area to the right. Walk into the building about the middle and get in the first of many lines. Show your ONE copy of (a) your passport, (b) the front AND back of your FM3 visa, © utility bills that have your address on them, (d) your existing VALID driver's license AND all the originals.
Answer lots of questions including how many years you want to buy. I choose 5 years, the max. and the fee was $648 pesos.
Choose to give up your USA driver's license and move to step two OR keep you USA drivers license and take an eye test, hearing test, written driver's test, and physical drivers test. I choose to give up my existing VALID driver's license and for go a driving test by a Spanish speaking examiner and a written test in Spanish.
They will take and keep your USA driver's license, plus hold your FM3/FM2 for about 30 minutes.
You will then be told to go to the cashier. You will need to be sure all the answers you gave are correct and have a photo taken, your right and left fingerprint, and your signature. Then you will take a paper outside to another building and stand in another line to pay. Take that receipt back to the cashier and get back your FM3/FM2.
The man will hand you a driver's license!

BTW. I made about 6-7 phone calls to Jolene to help me translate. You might want to take a Spanish speaker with you to help with the process.

Total cost: $798 pesos ($57.75USD) for a five year license and about 3 hours waiting time. Heading back to Arizona was about $1300 in airfare and at least 4 days lost time. This was a bargain!

You heard it here.

Good Luck! Jacquie

Congratulations!

I surrendered my valid Jalisco license the day before it expired in July. I found the experience at the transito office out in La Yerbabuena very positive. They are professional, pleasant and organized.

I dropped in the day before to see what was required and showed them my Jalisco drive's license. They told me I needed the health certificate from the Cruz Roja and the blood test. They also said they needed copies of my passport and my migratory document, a phone or electric bill in my name and that I would have to write and exam and take a road test. I didn't bother to tell them I don't have any migratory documents because I am naturalized, I just said OK and left.

I came back the next day with my Cruz Roja health certificate and blood type papers, a photo copy of my Mexican Passport and a copy of my IFE Credential (Mexican voter's card), along with a copy of my phone bill - all ready to write the exam and take the road test. They decided for some reason then that I didn't need to either write an exam or take a road test. I don't know if it was because I already had a Mexican license from Jalisco or if it was because I am a naturalized citizen, and I didn't want to ask any questions in case they changed their minds. I paid my money next door, had my photo taken and left with my license. All in all I think it took about 45 minutes.

E L C O N T R O L T E R T E N

In view of the diversity of traffic signs on roads and cities around the world, the United Nations convened an assembly on road transport, held in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1949. The meeting discussed A proposal to unify the signal system, so that drivers can easily identify them when traveling from one country to another.

When Mexico signed the "Draft Convention on Highway Signaling," it acquired the international commitment to accept this system of signs and marks on the pavement.

Definition.
The signs are plates fixed on poles or structures, with symbols, legends or both.

The function of the signals will be to provide information to road users.

Classification.
The graphic signals are classified in:

Warning signs.
Precautionary signs shall be used when it is deemed necessary to prevent users from existing or potential hazardous conditions on, or to the side of the road or street.

The signal itself should cause the driver to take precautionary measures and draw attention to a reduction in speed or maneuver in the interest of his own safety, that of another vehicle or pedestrian. (See annex SP).


Restrictive signals.
Restrictive signals are intended to inform users of the existence of regulations governing vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

Destination signs.
They deal with informing the users about the name and location of each of the destinations that are presented along its route. (See Annex ID).


Signs of recommendation.
They are used for educational purposes, to remind users of certain safety provisions or recommendations that should be observed in the route through streets and highways. (See Annex SIR).


Information signs.
Its function is to provide users with general geographic and population information as well as to indicate places, traffic flow, location of collection centers or inspection points. (See Annex IG).


Identification signs.
They serve to identify the streets or avenues, the roads with the shields that include the route number and mileage plates.

D I S T I I I I I I I I I
E L C O N T R O L T E R T E N

J) Mileage without a route. (See Annex SII).

Identification shields

Marks, islets and miscellaneous works.
The marks are the streaks, symbols and letters that are painted or placed on pavements, structures, fittings or objects inside or adjacent to the circulation ways. Its purpose is to indicate the possible risks, to regulate, to channel the traffic or to complement the indications of other signals. They have the advantage that under favorable climatic conditions they provide a preventive and informative message without diverting the attention of the driver; However, when there is bad weather (rain) they tend to disappear completely or decrease their visibility. (See Annex MIO).

Classification.

ACCIDENTS

The accident is defined as a fortuitous, predictable and avoidable event. It is characterized by the occurrence of violent events, which results in property damage, injury and / or death.

Traffic accidents are the ones that cause the greatest number of casualties.


How do traffic accidents occur?

For an accident to occur, a combination of two factors is required:

A) There is a RISK or DANGER on the road or in the vehicle.
B) That the driver, pedestrian or passenger commit an ERROR.

RISK + ERROR = ACCIDENT

Luck, fate, omens and other superstitions have no influence on accidents.

Factors involved in traffic accidents.

It is convenient to analyze the factors that influence an accident:

The most common risks or hazards a driver encounters in performing his or her function are:
A) The normal risks of the road or the streets.
B) The presence of other drivers.
C) The mechanical condition of the vehicle it drives.

Human factor.
You can participate as a driver, pedestrian or passenger, being in most cases the driver the main ingredient for traffic accidents to occur.

Drivers must know the aspects that directly or indirectly

Between the mistakes

Can commit the driver, they are:
A) Excess speed.
B) Lack of precaution to drive.
C) Driving in bad physical and mental conditions.
D) Traffic lights, intermittent, directional and braking.
E) Exhaust system.
(F) Rear-view mirrors (interior and side).
G) Windshield glass.
H) Windshield wipers.
(I) Seat belts.
J) Horn.

Vehicle, such as:
Physical appearance. Emotional aspect. Appearance of reasoning.

Physical appearance.
The Law and the Traffic Regulations require that the driver is in full

GENERALITIES
S A B C D E N T E S

Use of its faculties to operate a vehicle, therefore, every driver should avoid driving when his normal physical abilities are altered by factors such as: stress, physical tiredness, drowsiness, weakness, reactions to some medications, Vision problems and, above all, the effects of alcohol and drugs.


Emotional aspect.
Avoid driving when your emotions are at a level where you can not control them, such as: anger, worry, fear, overconfidence, depression, impatience, and nervousness alter your driving behavior.

Appearance of reasoning.
Those who have the false idea that alcohol and drugs do not affect the capacity for judgment, movement, and discernment, are completely wrong. The appreciation plays an important role in the driving, since the dimensions and the distances with respect to the vehicle are indispensable.


Vehicle factor.
This is the second factor in a traffic accident. All the cities of the country have regulations that regulate the equipment, devices, systems and safety accessories, here are some:
A) Service and parking brakes.
B) Steering system.
C) Tire system.


Factor camino.
This factor is quite important and it is required that the users adapt to the conditions of the same, respecting all the signs, marks, islets or device for the control of the traffic.

A well-signposted road is safer, however, excessive signs can present a risk of confusion for drivers.

Traffic factor
The considerable increase of vehicles means that in large cities and on some roads there are congestion, especially during peak hours. They provoke in drivers emotions of anger, frustration and impatience, which alters their ability to drive safely. To avoid this, it is advisable to plan as far as possible the trips or transfers, looking for alternatives to reduce or avoid saturation of vehicles, some of these options could be: changes of route, identifying different streets or avenues that offer greater fluidity, Change in schedule which would be positive by avoiding so-called peak hours.

DEFENSIVE DRIVING

Applying defensive driving reduces your chances of getting involved in a traffic accident. It means driving properly, avoiding accidents in spite of the actions of others or the presence of adverse conditions to the driver.

Recognize the danger. Never trust that everything will turn out well, think about what can happen later.

Understand the defense. Learn the techniques of Defensive Driving for specific situations.



As a defensive driver, we will learn
Act on time.

Before the danger never

To "give in" a little, in order to adapt our management behavior to the acts
Unexpected from other drivers, pedestrians, to the uncertain and changing external factors involved in road accidents.

The defensive driving technique has 5 fundamentals:

Knowledge: of the norms that govern the transit in the public highway and techniques of the Defensive Management.

Judgment: "common sense", know what to do and do it in a timely manner.

Vision: what can happen over long distances or short distances.

Alert: everything that happens around us.

Adopt the attitude of waiting and seeing.

A C T Ú E!

If you see the danger before you are in the scene, do not allow adverse conditions to occur unexpectedly, so it is important to observe your psychomotor condition and mechanical conditions of the vehicle, in order to provide effective defenses at the right time.

People are injured and killed in traffic accidents of a very different nature, which can be in a head-on collision between two vehicles, up to which one of the two vehicles is off the road, but the most significant cause of mortality , Serious injury and property damage is the head-on collision between two vehicles.



Ability:

Proper training

Positions in which your vehicle can

In addition to the practice.


Standard formula to prevent accidents.
In order to achieve this, it is necessary to know and apply the standard formula, which contains
3 related steps:

Being in relation to others, to produce a traffic accident.

Accident in front. Accident by scope. Side or side accident.
Accident in cruises or intersections. Accident by road exit and / or rollover.
Other Common Accidents.

The following are the most common causes by which different types of accidents occur and the specific techniques to avoid them:

Accidents front.
It is the most serious and dangerous of all accidents, occurs when two vehicles are impacted from the front. It causes drivers and occupants serious injuries that are sometimes fatal and cause substantial material damage.

The main cause of this accident is the INVASIÓN DEL CARRIL CONTRARIO.

Techniques to avoid accidents head-on.
A) Keep your right. You should drive on the right side of the road, unless there are signs that indicate otherwise.
B) Respect the rules of not exceeding. In cities and highways, it is forbidden to pass on slopes, curves, overpasses, railway tracks, cruises, etc.
C) Take the wheel with both hands. This is very important since any stone, bump, road defect or a slight distraction can make you lose control. And cause your vehicle to invade counter lane or get off the road.


How to prevent an accident in front of: Straight road.
A) Always be alert.
B) Drive to the right of your lane.
C) If necessary, slow down and get out of the way, but do not crash.

front.

Curves.
A) Slow down before reaching them.
B) Keep your right, stay in the middle of your lane (for left turn).
C) Accelerate gradually to exit the curve.

Intersection.
A) Give way.
B) While waiting, keep the wheels facing forward.


Accident by scope.
It occurs when one vehicle is in front of another in the same lane, the front is hit in the back with the front of the vehicle behind, this accident is very frequent in cities.
The main cause of this type of accident is the failure to keep the safety distance.

To avoid this mishap, it is necessary to adjust the speed in such a way that you can fully and safely brake within the space you have as the field of vision.

It must circulate at the regulatory speed in addition to taking into account the type and gross weight of the vehicle, type and condition of the pavement, weather and all those factors that may intervene to avoid a safe braking.

Techniques to avoid accidents by scope.
A) Apply the 4 second rule.
1.- Locate a reference point along the way, for example: a pole, a bridge, a signal, etc.
2.- At the moment that the vehicle of front passes to the height of the point of reference that chose begins a mental count 1101,
1102, 1103, 1104.
3.- When you have finished counting
1104 your vehicle will have to live up to the benchmark you chose.
Note: The 4-second rule applies to vehicles of similar size and speed of travel.

B) Keep a greater distance in adverse conditions, smooth, wet or slippery pavement, rain, snow, ice, etc.

C) Anticipate the situation. Observe beyond the vehicle ahead to prevent emergencies, for example: a traffic light that changes to red, a pedestrian crossing without precaution; When you anticipate braking, it avoids all risk of accidents.

Before maneuvering your vehicle, use directional lights, brake lights and human signals.


Side or side accident.
This type of accident occurs when two participating vehicles are hit on one side and can occur when passing, being passed or changing lanes.

Techniques to avoid a side or side accident.
A) Avoid passing or being overtaken by your right, this is achieved by moving on the side described above and use the left lane, only to pass.
B) If you are going to change lane, cancel the blind spots, turn your head a little to check that there are no vehicles in that area.

Blind spots in the field of vision of a conduit


D) Gradually brake to avoid being hit by the vehicle behind. It is important to avoid being hit by the vehicle that precedes you, make sure that your stop lights work well so that the driver following you is warned.

E) Help the rear driver to pass it. Move the vehicle to its extreme right and invite it to overtake, if not possible overtake, reduce the speed and continue with the compensation of distances.


Accidents in cruises or intersections.
These are those that arise when a

And / or ignored by the driver, the
Vehicle makes an unexpected change of movement, for example, a skid, swivel, etc.

Driver did not respect

The right or

Preference of passing to another vehicle.

Techniques to avoid accidents in cruises or intersections.
A) Do not trust that all the roundabouts have pass preference, they will only have it if it is signaled.
B) Observe and respect the traffic signs.
C) Give way to emergency vehicles.
D) Never stop when you have entered an intersection.
E) The pass preference will be for the driver to see the other on his extreme right.
F) Look first to the left and then to the right.
G) If you are in doubt about the preference of step, it is better to stop, to see that no vehicle comes and to continue.

During driving the effect can be on the driver of the vehicle called narcolepsis, causing sleep, discomfort in the eyes, yawning or headache, is due to lack of brain oxygenation caused by lack of air inside the vehicle, occurs by Circulate for a long time with the windows closed. In these cases it is advisable to lower the windows or to stop and get out of the vehicle to take deep breaths, walk and rest a little.

Techniques to avoid them.
A) On long journeys rest at least
10 minutes for every 3 hours.
B) Check tire pressure frequently.
C) Reduce speed in adverse vehicle conditions, road, weather, lighting and traffic.

Accidents of exit of the road and / or rollover.
These accidents most often occur due to conscious or unconscious loss of control of the vehicle:

Conscious loss. It occurs when faced with a sudden danger, for example; A vehicle that invades our lane, a pedestrian that crosses in an unexpected way, a bump, etc.

Unconscious loss. When from causes

Other Common Accidents.
A) With pedestrians.
Take special care of the elderly, children or people who have ingested alcoholic beverages, it is better to let the pedestrian get away with it than to run him over.
B) With fixed objects.
A collision with a wall, a post, a tree, or a parked car is caused by poor judgment and lack of calculation to judge the distance to the front and back. In most cases it occurs due to fatigue or alcohol or drugs.
C) With trains.
They happen because of the lack of caution and recklessness when wanting to win the passage to the train. Recall that the railroad tracks and the road form an intersection and the passing preference will always have the train. To avoid accidents with the train, it is recommended to stop at the stop lines that are painted on the road before the road, see both sides, listen carefully and if no train is approaching, continue.
D) With cyclists.
Put all the senses when you watch a cyclist on your way, sound the horn and leave enough space to pass it.
E) With motorcyclists.
Motorcycles form an important part of traffic and usually their drivers are inexperienced, watch out for them, increase their distance when going behind these vehicles and when you pass them leave as much space as if it were a car.
F) With animals.
Extreme precautions in rural areas, since you can cross a cow, a horse, an ass, slow down where you find a cattle zone signaled.

You should note the following:
A) Observe the whole scene before going back even when you have to get out of your vehicle and walk around it.
B) Turn on your turn signals and back off very slowly.
C) Use the center and side mirrors.


Given the need for better drivers, we must evaluate our own handling behavior, adopting as a rule, perfect handling.

Perfect handling means ending every trip without accidents, without traffic violations, without abusing the vehicle, without excessive delays and without rudeness.

It is always better to get rid of an avoidable accident, so it is important to develop the ability to drive a vehicle in a defensive way.

How to avoid accidents when kicking?
The defensive driver plans his itinerary and thus avoid maneuvers to retreat, when necessary

DRIVING EMERGENCIES

If the safe rises.
In the face of this unforeseen situation, it is best to take a defensive action, since a situation of this nature can be disastrous, your life depends on your ability of tranquility and defensive knowledge. Before this unforeseen slows down and moves to one side, for a moment it will depend on you what you can observe at the sides of the chest, the most important thing is to remain calm without being frightened by the loss of the frontal vision.


If the brakes fail.
Pry the brake and the pedal slides to the end, while the car continues its march, this is the time to act quickly:
Pump the pedal to apply pressure to the brake pump.
Use the parking brake.
Change to a lower speed and brake with the changes.
Use horn and lights to announce uncontrol.

If you have an extinguisher, use it.
Use a soda with gas, open it, shake it and direct it to the base of the fire. Stay away from the fire if you can not control it.

If the throttle sticks.
If you stop stepping on the accelerator and the car continues:
Stay calm, this emergency is the easiest to control.
Pull the pedal with the tip of the shoe, but do not distract your attention. Turn off the engine and brake, be aware of the stiffness of the brake pedal, hold it down.

If a tire flies.
In this situation:
Hold the steering wheel firmly to prevent the vehicle from losing control.
Do not twist roughly to one side or the other.
Brake smoothly and try to get out of the traffic lane.
Announce your parking.

If the engine is on fire.
Automobile fires are due to two situations:
1st Fire for short circuit.
2nd leak of gasoline that falls into overheated parts.

Locate the kind of fire, if it smells of burned wire is the first case and if the smell is combustible, it will be the second case, then:
Disconnect a cable from the battery.

If your car falls into the water.
The submersion is one of the most unforeseen accidents, the water produces panic reactions to the imminent danger of drowning, if this occurs:
Keep calm, the car with the windows closed can float from 3 to
10 minutes and the best escape route is the window, if it bites it break it;

E M E R G E N C I A S
T U N T E M E N E J O

Remember: calm and calm.
Rules of speed.
The speed that is printed to the vehicles is serious cause and determinant of 50 percent of the road accidents, that is why it must be reason of a particular review of the following rules:

Traveling too slowly or too fast can be dangerous, must be subject to the maximum and / or minimum speed limits set.
If there are no graphic signs on the road it will circulate at the speed indicated by the traffic regulations. The speed of vehicles must also be subject to the following conditions:
Physical condition of the driver: tiredness, drowsiness, illness.
Emotional condition: anger, stress, worry.
Condition of the environment: rain, sunny day, fog, very dark night.

SAFETY BELT

It is convenient to use the seat belt of the car seat, as one of the measures to achieve greater protection in cases of traffic accidents, reduce the importance of injuries to the driver, passengers and aid in the prevention of accidents. Themselves.

Car users should be aware that not all belted systems are the same, some provide greater protection on one impact than others and some are easier and more comfortable to use.

Know the operation of the safety belt before boarding the car.

Why is accident protection needed?
Safety is the most important thing when selecting a car. Seat belts are more significant than the size of the vehicle. Although logically large cars provide more

Protection than small cars. In crashes at 49km / h the car
Speed ??in a tenth of a second, however, even if the vehicle stops, occupants continue to travel in the car causing injury. This sudden high, concentrates the impact, causing serious and fatal injuries. The restraint of the occupants is best when using the seat belt, because it slows down the body gradually.

Studies show that when using the seat belt on the shoulders and lap, fatal injuries are reduced by 57% and in cars with automatic belts 50%.

Most of the crashes that cause injuries and death occur at speeds of less than 65 km / h, and within a 41 km radius of the house. Without the use of the belt many deaths are recorded at speeds as low as 19 km / h, in contrast, a Swiss study revealed that of 28,000 shocks at speeds of 98 km / h, no deaths were recorded using the seat belt on Shoulders and lap.

Sequence of the inertia that the occupants of the vehicle follow at the moment of impact with or without a seat belt.

No seatbelt.
At the time of impact the vehicle begins to compress and stop abruptly, while the person

THE BELT
OF SECURITY

It finds itself in, having nothing to hold it, continues to move forward. The car, when stopped and crushed absorbs a part of the force of the collision, however, the person occupying the vehicle continues moving forward at the same speed.

In 1/50 of a second after the vehicle stops, the person is hit on the dashboard and on the windshield. This is the human collision. In the collision of the vehicle the high total takes 1/10 of a second, in the human collision only 1/100 of a second.


Better control of the car.
Belts not only provide protection in the event of a collision, they can help prevent other accidents. With the belt on, it is easier to control the car in case of an emergency (driving or braking) because it keeps you in your seat. If an accident occurs, the seat belt reduces the chance of being knocked out of position, unaware of the first impact and can maintain control of the vehicle in the event of a second collision.

With seat belt.
At the moment of impact, the car stops and crushes, the difference is marked by the seat belt that holds the driver in place, holds his head and chest, preventing it from being hit with any part of the interior of the vehicle.

As occupants are strapped to the car's structure, they are able to withstand the collision as part of the vehicle. For people wearing the seat belt, there is no human collision.

Avoid fatigue.
When driving on the road, the safety belt reduces fatigue, keeps the driver in the correct position to provide greater comfort and attention on the road. The driver must be seated in the back and in a straight position in his seat. The lap belt should be worn without causing discomfort, tight in the bones of the hip.


Protection for pregnant women. Studies with pregnant women show that when an accident occurs, they are more protected by wearing the belt over the shoulders and lap. According to the American Medical Association Committee on Automotive Safety, they say that both the mother and the product are more protected when the belt is worn over the lower part of the pelvis. In cold climates, it is advised not to wear the belt over bulky clothes, because this may

Create a slippery surface, and cause the belt to rise, causing internal injuries. Future mothers should warm the car (heating), unplug the outer clothing and secure the seat belt over as little clothing as possible.

Protection for rear seat passengers.
In a violent clash, the passengers of the
Rear seats can be thrown forward, hit with the dashboard, on the windshield or against the driver of the car, causing injury to themselves and other occupants, can also push the driver to one side making it impossible for the driver to have any control over the steering wheel Of the car.

Vehicles from 1991 to date should have torso-pelvic belts for the front and pelvic seats in the car's rear seats.

Owners of vehicles prior to this model must purchase and adapt seat belts for seats

Of the car.
Occupants must not leave the car.
The safest place, after a
Shock, is to remain inside the car, as long as there is no risk of fire, explosion or immersion in water. During the crash, the belt prevents you from getting out of your car and bumping into the pavement or into your own car or being hit by another vehicle.

Protection for small children.
Shocks continue to be the major cause of injuries and deaths of children and adolescents, even under normal conditions and at speeds as low as 5 to 8 km / h. Young children can be injured by sudden braking or a sharp turn.

Protection for children, requires a proper belt design. Child safety belts prevent them from being hit on the dashboard, the windshield or any other part of the car. If you do not have a belt system that is appropriate for children, you should

Put on the lap belt that will give you
Greater protection than if he uses nothing. Parents should take the time to explain and encourage children to wear seat belts.

Never put two people inside a single belt, even if they are children.


How to get into the habit of wearing a belt?

belt.
Adjust the belt whenever you drive.
Some practiced studies have shown that habits are acquired by practicing the same action twelve consecutive times. Make a conscious effort to adjust your seat belt for two weeks, this will cause you to form a subconscious and automatic habit. If you get this habit it takes two weeks, it can save your life and that of those who accompany you.



Adjusting the seat belt should be as automatic as starting the car. If we want to acquire the habit of the belt, these practical methods can help us:

And remember

«THE SAFETY BELT DOES NOT AVOID THE ACCIDENT BUT IF HE CAN SAVE YOU LIFE»


One more step when using the car. By group pressure.
Reminder card.

One more step when using the car.
Most people have a routine that they follow when preparing to drive, the routine is to adjust the seat and the mirrors; Adopts the one of adjusting the safety belt if you are of the people who follow this routine.

Driving is something that is not learned by trial and error. It involves dexterity, knowledge, habits and above all, attitudes that are needed to be fulfilled in a careful way.


By pressure of groups.
When traveling with family, friends or other people, announce that you will wear your belt, they will love to remind you when you do not.

Reminder cards.
During the first few weeks, while wearing the belt habit, use cards that remind you of the use of

Informational signs: Informational signs are intended as a guide to locate or identify streets, highways, as well as names of towns and places of interest with existing services. These type of signs are boards with the blue or green background, symbols or letters in white, white trim. And in turn they are classified as follows:

1. Identification: They are used to identify streets according to their name, nomenclature, and roads according to their route number and / or mileage.

The following are shown from left to right: Federal Free Highway Shield, Federal Quota Highway Shield, Free State Highway Shield, State Quota Highway Shield, and State Rural Highway Shield.

2. Destination: They are used to inform users about the name and location of each of the destinations along its route.

6. Signs of road works: They are used to indicate the proximity of a section of road where construction work is being carried out


HORIZONTAL SIGNS: They are markings on the pavement that serve to channel and orient the circulation of the vehicles and indicate the movements to be executed by means of lines, figures and legends, they constitute an excellent means of signaling that guides the user without distracting his view of the road


Continuous centerline Indicates division of opposing lanes and at the same time prohibits the maneuver from passing


Discontinuous centerline Indicates ramp division: it is allowed to pass if there is sufficient visibility and the opposite lane is vacated in a sufficient space that allows a maneuver with safety.


Continuous and discontinuous lines together to the center
They indicate that it is allowed to exceed the circulation moving on the side of the dashed line.


Two continuous lines Separate the two directions of circulation in streets and roads. They must not be transposed or circulated under them under any circumstances, since they represent a physical separation

Area of ??pedestrians They delimit the space within which they must cross
Pedestrians, drivers of vehicles with stop signs must stop without invading the area between lines.


Neutral areas or areas Are diagonal lines between continuous lines that serve to separate lanes; It is forbidden to circulate
Them and also parked.



Railroad Approach Markings Indicate that you are approaching a railroad crossing, so you should slow down and prepare to stop before crossing the tracks.


A) Yellow cord:
no parking.
B) Red cord: no parking or stopping. C) Pedestrian Crossing
D) Directional arrows
E) Rail lines

Human or manual signals
They are the ones made by the transit agent to regulate the circulation of vehicles and pedestrians.


When the traffic agent directs the traffic, showing the chest or the back towards the traffic direction, it indicates "HIGH", therefore the drivers must stop the march.


When the traffic agent directs the circulation in a double direction, the agent raises the arms with the palms of the vertical hands, it is indicating "HIGH" to both directions of circulation.


The right and left sides of the traffic officer means follow and the signals that the officer makes with the hands indicate the authorization to advance.


Sound Signs.

When traffic officers direct the traffic and are not clearly visible, they are supported by the use of a whistle: A short touch means "HIGH", two short strokes mean "FOLLOW", A long stroke means "PREVENTION", to make a turn And give way to another circulation, several short touches mean that it orders to accelerate circulation

Electromechanical Signals.

They are traffic signals with lights that tell you when and where to stop or go.
Traffic lights
Traffic lights are electromechanical devices through the use of lights regulate the crossing priority based on three colors, thus communicating different messages that you must take into account.


Continuous red light (top focus). It means traffic that is prevented from being confronted, it forces you to stop at the marked stop line and if there is not, you must stop before entering the crosswalk.


Solid amber light (middle focus). It announces the immediate appearance of the red light: it forces clear the crossing to those who face it. If you are crossing you must complete the crossing if it is free; If you have not started to cross you should stop.


Green light (bottom focus).
Indicates authorized transit to whoever faces it.
It allows to continue the march, as well as to turn right, yielding first
The step to the pedestrians. If you are driving in one-way streets, you can also turn left.


Flashing red light.
The vehicles that face it must stop, since it is the same as a sign of STOP.


Flashing yellow light.
Indica caution.


Semaphore deleted.
Remember that when the lights are off, you must let the vehicle on the right side pass by.


Turning arrows.
Red arrow, not allowed to turn left.


Turning arrows.
Green arrow, allowed to turn left.


Pedestrian traffic lights.
Red, you must not cross.


Pedestrian traffic lights.
White or green, you can make the crossing.


REMEMBER:

Transit corporations have a restricted number of traffic agents, because of this, traffic signals are the main tool for the movement of vehicles and people in a safe and controlled manner. Do not forget that for each traffic signal installed, technical and field studies were carried out.

Vial education.
It is the set of knowledge and rules of conduct for the correct use of public roads and means of transport.

Road Safety: It is to apply the knowledge obtained from road education in public roads.

The population in the area of ??road education is divided into:

Pedestrians: It is every person who uses the communication ways, walking or running.
Safety rules:
Always walk on the sidewalk. Cross only at the corners.
Do not run between two vehicles.
Avoid children playing on the street.
Obey the directions of the traffic officer.

Passenger: It is everyone who uses the means of transportation to go from place to place.
Safety rules:
Approach the vehicle at designated stops or in a safe place.
Demand the passenger ticket, it is your proof of payment and your insurance in case of an accident.
Be polite, the elderly and disabled ladies deserve respect for the passage and the seat.
Do not distract the operator.
Predict your descent of the transport unit with time.
Assist transit authorities, reporting any irregularities seen in the transportation service.

Driver: Any person who guides or drives a vehicle.
Safety rules:
Respect the provisions established in the Law and regulations of
Transit and Transportation.
Observe the marked markings on the traffic signs. Do not drive when you are tired or upset.

Sit comfortably and securely: Adjust the seat so that your feet can press the pedals hard enough, your back should be at an angle of about 95 to 100 degrees, fit
The side and center mirrors and, put on the seat belt.

Clutching a speed: If you are not familiar with the speed chart, it is best that you initially practice them until you memorize them with the engine off and the handbrake activated, so that when driving the vehicle the speed change is not a distraction when watching The lever to verify which is clutched. Check the vehicle dashboard. It must take reading of the indicators that mark the operation of the most important systems of the vehicle.
Be attentive to the road and its complements: Interpret correctly and obey the devices for the control of the traffic that is in the way, graphic signals, the traffic light, the Traffic Officer, markings in the pavement, signs for protection of works, etc.
Be aware of weather conditions: Rain, mist, cold, heat, strong winds, tolvaneras etc. They can decrease the visibility on the road and can make the driving of the vehicle unsafe.
Watch out for other road users. Remember that you are not alone on the road, you may find other drivers of which you are unaware of the conditions in which you are driving, distracted pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists or animals that can be traversed.

Driving practices: You should do them in a field where you have enough space to do basic maneuvers, for example: forward, reverse, left and right turns, up and down slope, remember to stay calm and calm in the practices will help To develop their abilities to maneuver the vehicle more quickly, as well as to have a better reasoning of the possible solutions to the unforeseen that can be presented to him.
Enjoy your ride: Remember that the driver has three goals when moving, do it with maximum comfort, speed and safety, so enjoy driving your vehicle.


Drive safely.

Respect the speed limits.- The signals that indicate the maximum limits of allowed speed, respond to the needs of the place, based on the type of surface of bearing, visibility, type of terrain and of the distance necessary to stop in case of There is some danger. The limits will be lower when driving in bad weather conditions, poor road conditions, poor vehicle conditions or when driving at night.

Even if there are no indications indicating the maximum speed allowed on the road or street where it circulates, these are indicated in the State Traffic Regulations, and are as follows:

A) State Highway: 100 Km./Hr.
B) Free road: 95 Km./Hr.
C) Population centers: 50 Km./Hr.
D) Terrain tracks 50 km / hr.
E) Crossing of villages 30 Km./Hr. F) Areas of pedestrian concentration 10 Km./Hr.
(Schools, Churches, parks)

Keep your distance safe.- When driving at all times maintain a safe distance between your vehicle and the vehicles that circulate near you, both in front and back, as well as at the sides. This distance will give you ample time to react to an emergency or a hazard. But how to determine that distance?

A) Rule of four seconds: When the vehicle in front of your vehicle passes a fixed point (a pole, a tree, etc.) count the seconds that run until your vehicle passes the same place. In case of counting less than four seconds decrease your speed to increase the safety distance.
B) Rule of three meters for every 10 km./Hr. : For every 10 Km./Hr.
Increase your speed, you must leave a safety distance of 3 meters. Example: If you are driving at 50 km / h, you should leave a distance of 15 meters with respect to the vehicle ahead of you. This distance will allow you to react to an emergency.
C) Start 2 seconds later: If you want to keep the safety distance from the moment you start, you can do it in the following way: At a traffic light when the vehicle in front of you starts, count two seconds and start your journey.
D) Safety distance to the sides: Do not drive very close to another vehicle, but if the traffic forces you, leave a distance of at least 1.5 times the size of your door with respect to the vehicles that circulate to your sides.
E) Backward safety distance: You must be prepared to face the situation that arises when a driver closely follows you, and you want to force him to exceed the established speed limit or even worse to cause a range accident. Eliminate that threat by jumping and letting it pass. If the traffic does not allow it, try to get the driver's attention by turning on your lights or by starting the horn, as it may be distracted or in poor condition.

Remember that the faster you are, the less visibility, that is, the faster you circulate your vision will be reduced, forming a kind of tunnel, this will cause you to fix your eyes on a point ahead, losing the notion of what happens around you .


Drive safely. Parking areas.

Usually when driving within the city we have the need to park our vehicle in an area designated for it, either on the public road or a public parking. When making use of these spaces in the public road we will have to respect that we have to respect the provisions of the traffic regulations, in this way we avoid avoiding accidents and congestion risks.

When using these parking areas we must be alert to unexpected pedestrians, doors that open suddenly, vehicles that change lanes unexpectedly. A
Once the parking space is located, indicate your maneuver with the directional lights, try to park in reverse so as not to obstruct the traffic, do not forget to activate its preventive lights.

The forms of parking allowed are:
A) In battery.- This is when the vehicles are placed with the rear or front wheels facing the sidewalk.

B) In cord.- When vehicles are parked parallel to the stool at a maximum distance of 30 cm, and at least one meter away from other vehicles. The vehicle thus parked must be oriented in the direction of circulation allowed. When parking in this way on a descent, set the parking brake and orient the front wheels towards the trim and if you park upwards the wheels on the opposite side of the trim. If your vehicle has a capacity of more than 3 ½ tons, place wedges on the wheels.

When using the parking areas on the public highway, do so only in the permitted places, remember that parking is prohibited in the following ways:
Double row.
In the accesses and exits of hospitals, fire stations, temples, police stations and transit, bus terminals and similar places.
In the accesses and exits of private homes and businesses of any type, which have the place the respective indication.
In areas marked for passenger ascension and descent of public transport vehicles. In places where it obstructs the visibility of traffic signals, the visibility of other drivers, and parking in the corners.

In spaces destined for disabled vehicles, as well as ramps for access to sidewalks and pedestrian paths.
Park on the sidewalk, between ridges and sides of it, pedestrian crossings, pedestrian transit zones.
Park on bridges, steps uneven.
Less than 10 meters from a railway junction. Parking vehicles simulating decomposition.

To get into the circulation after being parked observe the following points:
1. Anticipate your intention to others, use your directional lights.
2. Observe your mirrors, if you have the opportunity to sit up. Check that there are no pedestrians walking on the circulation stream near your vehicle.
3. When joining the traffic equals the speed of other vehicles.


Drive safely.
Circulation.

Inside the city we will circulate respecting the limits of speed established by the traffic signs that are in the place. As we approach the cruises, we must take into account first and foremost that the pedestrian has a passing preference. Before getting ready to cross a cruise, we will consider the following points:
1. Check which device controls the pitch preference.
2. Slow down.
3. Be prepared with your foot on the brake pedal in case someone goes through.
4. Do not assume that you have a passing preference.
5. During the day draw attention with the horn, at night with high headlights.

Passing preferences are set as follows: A main path on a secondary, ie a boulevard on an avenue, a two-way street on a one-way, a two-lane on a single lane, A paved street above a cobbled street. Passing preferences can be set with control devices or signals such as the Stop Signal, the red light of a traffic light or the stop sign of a transit agent, and it means that we must stop the vehicle completely. This type of signal we will find it when arriving at a cruise where we do not have preference of step and we must allow the crossing to the vehicles that circulate by the main way.


It is worth mentioning that the traffic light will give the prefere
