Federal Highway 2 ''(Carretera Federal 2)'' runs along the Mexico–United States border. ==Route description== |- |colspan=3| |- |B.C. |244.03〔 |151.63 |- |Son. |745.79〔 |463.41 |- |Chih. |353.32〔 |219.54 |- |Segment total |1343.14 |834.59 |- |colspan=3| |- |Coah. |204.02〔 |126.77 |- |N.L. |24.00〔 |14.91 |- |Tamps. |416.18〔 |248.60 |- |Segment total |644.20 |400.29 |- |Total |1987.34 |1234.88 |} The highway is divided into two discontinuous segments. The western segment begins in Tijuana, Baja California, and terminates at El Porvenir, Chihuahua, near Ciudad Juárez. The eastern segment begins at Ciudad Acuña, Coahuila, and continues to the Gulf of Mexico at Playa Lauro Villar, Tamaulipas, near Matamoros. Between Tijuana and Mexicali in Baja California, and again between Reynosa and Matamoros in Tamaulipas, the route is bypassed by Mexican Federal Highway 2D, a four lane controlled access toll road referred to in Mexico as an ''autopista''. It is advised that drivers use pesos when paying tolls as US dollars may be accepted at a rate disadvantageous to the driver. Highway 2 is considered to be part of Pacific Coastal Highway from Tijuana to Highway 15 in the State of Sonora. The highway passes through the border states of Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas. The highway also has connecting access to every official port of entry into the United States with the exception of the international bridge between Ojinaga, Chihuahua, and Presidio, Texas, which is within the gap between the two highway segments. These ports of entry allow access from the highway to all four United States border states: California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. As a result, customs inspection stations are common along some sections of the highway. Even if the highway were to be extended to join the two segments, the gap between the two is more directly crossed by traveling along Interstate 10 and U.S. Highway 90 in the United States because of the course of the Rio Grande (Río Bravo del Norte) around the Big Bend region of Texas. Federal highways in Mexico are generally designated with even numbers for east-west routes and odd numbers for north-south routes. Numerical designations usually ascend southward away from the U.S. border for east-west routes, and usually ascend eastward away from the Pacific Ocean for north-south routes. Therefore, Federal Highway 2, due to its proximity to the border, has the lowest possible even number designation, and intersecting north-south federal routes conform to this pattern. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mexican Federal Highway 2」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
