The Secretariat of Communications and Transportation (SCT in Spanish) will conduct a census poll on Highway 8 between Sonoyta and Puerto Peñasco where motorist will be asked Origin-Destination information on their trip and commercial vehicles will be weighed. The company doing this work is conducting this poll on ALL Highways in the States of Sonora and Chihuahua under contract from the Secretary.
They had planned to conduct this census from the 24th until 28th of May but because of the latest incidents in the news, they have agreed to postpone it starting next Monday the 31st in the afternoon to set up equipment and the actual polling at 11:59 PM until Friday June 4th at midnight. This is a 24 hour operation.
Signs will be placed one mile before the polling station and the personnel will be wearing the proper highway vests and identification.
Respectfully,
Arq. Fausto Soto

City of Puerto Peñasco
 
This shouldn't disrupt those of you returning from Penasco over Memorial Day.

Not clear if this will be happening in both directions, although I did see the crews getting the car counter strips ready this past Monday.
