Nuevo Laredo - Post Report Question and Answers

Would someone with physical disabilities have difficulties living in this city?

Yes, very much so. The infrastructure is a mess, side walks are a mess, it's all just a mess. - Dec 2022


The city tries, with ramps and handicapped parking spaces, but the infrastructure is still poor in this regard in many places. - Jun 2018


Oh yes! - Apr 2017


The consulate has two buildings, each with two floors. There are no elevators. Presumably the new consulate (opening late 2017) will have elevators. - Feb 2016


Yes, probably. The Consulate doesn't have an elevator and it is two floors. - Dec 2015


Not really. You drive everywhere. Although the Consulate is two stories and doesn't have an elevator. - Jun 2014


You need a car to get around everywhere here, regardless of disability status. - Feb 2013
