Querétaro expands traffic controls and infrastructure amid Mexico‑Querétaro train project
The municipal Secretariat of Mobility in Querétaro issued new traffic recommendations to lessen the impact of the Mexico‑Querétaro train construction. Drivers are asked to avoid Avenida Roncopollo between 09:00‑12:00 and Avenida Circunvalación on Fridays from 15:00‑18:00, and access from Avenida Universidad to Roncopollo is closed from 17:00‑20:00. About 75,000 vehicles use the Bernardo Quintana corridor each day, a 50 % drop from pre‑construction volumes.
The municipality hired 150 auxiliary traffic staff, working three eight‑hour shifts, to enforce the temporary traffic plan and protect the personnel from verbal aggression. These measures are part of a broader effort that includes 11 permanent geometric interventions—such as buoys, widened pedestrian crossings, and re‑configured turn radii—along key streets near the construction zone.
Separately, the free community‑transport system has logged more than two million rides since March 2025, with 1.4 million on routes serving Santa Rosa Jáuregui and 600 000 in the Felipe Carrillo Puerto area. Transport operators also voiced safety concerns on Federal Highway 57’s “Cuesta China” segment, noting insufficient space for a traditional braking ramp and prompting the municipal public‑works secretary to explore a new design.
