ROFL! I think you might be right - some topes are locally installed and not approved by anyone except the kiosk operators! As for Metepec, why not? They have all that clay...

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.
