always be aware of what you are being served, never leave your drink
unattended and do not drink excessively.
Use common sense and enjoy the experience of Mexico and Baja California.

• Drink alcoholic beverages on the street, sidewalks or public property.
• Drive a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or controlled substance.
• Enter a bar if you are under 18 years old.

The
most important thing is to use common sense when traveling, just as you
would at home. Police and security guards throughout Rosarito are here
to assist you; feel free to ask questions or report suspicious
behavior. For additional help, use the 24-hour Tourist Assistance

Traffic Tickets
If you are
stopped by a police officer for a traffic violation you should always
politely insist on a written citation that you could pay at the police
station or by mail. Be aware that speed limits in Mexico are set in
kilometers (1 mile = 1.6 kms.) so that the speed limit on highways is
55 MPH and within city limits it averages 15 MPH.
Just like in the United States, you can get a ticket and be issued a fine for:
Running
a red light, not having or not using a seatbelt, using a cellular phone
while driving, driving without a valid driver’s license or car
registration, exceeding the speed limit, driving under the influence of
alcohol or drugs (DUI) in addition to the fine you may also be detained.
