A fellow Baja resident just sent me this information, that you must read (if you’re concerned about your safety, of course). You’ve probably read about people getting robbed while driving on the toll road, and this is how it’s being done:
On the 31st of December, 08 I received an email from a friend and current resident of Baja del Mar, saying that about half a mile before the toll booth, on a little curve, there a car was parked on the side of the road with the emergency lights on. Three or four men were standing by the car and another man was lying on the middle of the road. The whole scene looked like there had been an accident, but she was leery, so she only slowed down and never stopped completely. She managed to drive passed and avoid the person that was lying in the road. Then, after she passed the scene, she looked back on her mirror and noticed that the man lying in the road was getting up (as if uninjured) and approaching the other three men. She continued on to the toll booth, and reported what she had witnessed to security at the toll booths. They confirmed her suspicions that the accident had been staged and that this was occurring often. It seems that these men were all part of the group of criminals trying to confuse drivers by making them think that there is an accident, in hope that unsuspecting driver will pull over to help. Once they get somebody to pull over to help, they are able to rob the good Samaritans.
I highly recommend not driving on the scenic road/toll road at night, since this is when most of these acts are occurring. If it is unavoidable to travel this road after dark, and you witness what seems to be an accident, or anything else that looks suspicious to you, DO NOT STOP TO HELP! Call the local police at 060 in Rosarito or 066 in Tijuana and report what you witnessed.
I also recommend not stopping for any undercover patrols, when they are trying to pull you over until you are in a safe location such as, a well lit area, or if possible continue on to the toll booth where there are witnesses present.
