Kukulcán Boulevard in Cancún to Get 142 Accessibility Ramps and Speed Humps

Cancún, Quintana Roo — The Quintana Roo Tourism Infrastructure Institute (INFRATUR) has installed a speed hump in front of a church on Kukulcán Boulevard and plans to add more at several high-traffic spots in Cancún’s hotel zone, part of a broader effort to make the road safer and update its look.

Ricardo Archundia, the agency’s operating president, said the traffic-calming measures are especially needed where an existing traffic light is not working. The first speed hump was placed near the start of the boulevard, outside a church, and Archundia said it has already slowed drivers and improved pedestrian safety.

Following what officials described as favorable results, INFRATUR expects to install similar speed reducers at Playa Delfines and Playa Tortugas, with additional devices planned later for Plaza La Isla and an area near the Cancún International Convention Center.

Accessibility ramps and illuminated crossings

As part of the same project, INFRATUR is building 142 universal-accessibility ramps at intersections and along sidewalks on Kukulcán Boulevard. The ramps are designed to help people in wheelchairs, parents pushing strollers and cyclists move through the hotel zone more easily. The work also includes illuminated, flush-to-pavement pedestrian crossings.

The improvements build on a wider investment effort in Cancún’s hotel zone. In December 2025, Foatqroo, the state’s tourism promotion trust, completed the first phase of infrastructure projects and allocated 225 million pesos (about $12.5 million) for a second phase, part of a 580-million-peso program planned over 30 months.
