MEXICO: Border queues lengthen
Mexico's new system for vehicle checking, the Sistema de Aforo
Vehicular (Siave), which is being introduced in border states, has slowed
cross-border traffic. Mexicans crossing into the US have become inured to the
two- or three-hour queues crossing the border often entailed. Coming back used
to be much quicker, but now can take just as long. Motorists and local
governments blame the introduction of the Siave.
