I-19 begins its official life at-grade, winding a couple blocks to the actual freeway. Turn left here about a block into the route

A block later, bear right. Most of the development you see in the background is in Mexico; we’re only a couple blocks from the border. The freeway begins a block after we head around this corner

AKP: 0

Location: I-19 and West St, Nogales

As we head around the corner, we’re presented with the most metricated highway in the USA, I-19. Mileposts are in kilometers (hence AKP), and distance is mostly in meters and kilometers. Speed limits are still in Imperial units, however

Location: I-19 and Mariposa Rd, Nogales

1500 meters after the freeway begins, we’ll get 2 km notification for SR 189, which heads south. It’s the main truck route to Mexico and the fastest route to Hermosillo and places that aren’t Nogales

Location: I-19 and Mariposa Rd, Nogales

Exit for SR 189 south, which heads directly to Mexico’s Carretera Federal 15.
