One warning sign of an unmarked tope: suddenly seeing a small building with sign advertising Coca-cola & Corona on one side of the road and a "Llantas" sign on the building directly across from it on the other side of the road.
I have come to believe topes are really just the locals finding creative ways to diversify their income stream from the family farm.
Also, I think Metepec/Toluca is the birthplace of topes....or at least the main manufacturing and shipping center to the rest of the country.
