Summer holiday travel safety in Mexico and Peru

Overview

During the summer vacation period, authorities in Mexico and Peru issued safety warnings regarding increased travel activity. In Mexico, the National Council of the Ballistic Industry noted a 30% rise in highway traffic, advising drivers to avoid night travel and perform vehicle inspections. Similarly, Peru’s consumer protection agency, Indecopi, urged travelers to use only authorized ground transport operators to avoid risks associated with informal providers.

As the season progressed, Mexico’s southeastern regions, including Quintana Roo and Yucatán, saw a surge in road accidents and fatalities. In Yucatán, traffic incidents resulted in 29 deaths, with motorcyclists identified as the primary victims. Reports from Cancún highlighted fatal collisions often attributed to speeding, though some areas, such as Colosio Boulevard, saw a decrease in accidents following repaving.

In Tulum, a decline in tourism was noted through a significant reduction in solid waste collection. Meanwhile, the Ángeles Verdes corporation reported providing roadside assistance to over 800 tourists in Quintana Roo, largely due to mechanical failures on the Cancún-Tulum highway.
