 | This article needs to be updated. The reason given is: as of 2022 all of the road from Mexicali to the junction with carretera 1 is federal, the southern section is no longer state road. Also since the creation of San Felipe municipality this year, many references to the municipalities of Mexicali and Ensenada are no longer correct.. (March 2022) |
Federal Highway 5 (Spanish: Carretera Federal 5, Fed. 5) is a tollfree part of the federal highways corridors (Spanish: los corredores carreteros federales), and follows the northeast length of the state of Baja California from the US-Mexico border in Mexicali at the northern point at San Felipe in the south.[1][2] The highway is entirely inside the Mexicali Municipality. However, a state highway from San Felipe to Puertecitos (San Felipe Municipality) is usually considered part of Fed. 5. From San Felipe to the south, the road follows the seacoast of the Gulf of California.
As of February 2020, the entire length of Hwy 5 has now been paved to the junction with Hwy 1.
