Red streets in Mexico City!

I couldn't find out if this has been posted before -

In Mexico City and suburbs, there are a lot of red streets. Not terra cotta red - in my paint collection it would be cadmium red light. The oddest thing is that they aren't red streets, but red buildings crowded into where the street should be. Some also have a yellow section and I found a single street that's all-yellow and a couple that are done in a charming "assorted pastel" motif. There are also a lot of yellow "tents" - rooftops that are suspiciously sunny in color and have the irregular dips and angles of a fabric tent, rather than the rigid symmetry of a roof.

There are surely more than I marked - it's a huge city! It's surprising that no local resident - as far as I could tell - has posted anything about the red-street phenomenon. I have to admit, I'll be sorry to see them go when the image is updated!
