Toe pez!
Visit Mexico and you’ll soon learn about these.
There are various types:
Topes slopes: these are the biggest in area, but the gentle curve means only a nominal deceleration is required
Topes ropes: used at military pesto controls. Thick ropes that cause a momentary bounce
Topes that are cut away: locals, obviously annoyed by the shock absorber replacement costs and dentist bills have just taken a pick to them and cut paths through them. Do not rely on this being the case.
The worst are the high and narrow type. I’ve bottomed the bike out a few times on these. At night they could be very dangerous.
There are adaptations to these basics. Topes with undulated tops. Topes where sand has built up before and after, disguising the tope. Topes where there are holes in the road either before, after or before and after the tope itself.
Fundamentally, slow down when nearing villages…easier said than done, when a village may consist of two houses selling coke and cerveza and they appear from nowhere. But, do slow down, if only to be respectful to the inhabitants.
