Mexican Federal Highway 305D is a toll highway in the state of Quintana Roo. It serves as a spur of Mexican Federal Highway 180D (Mérida-Cancún) to Playa del Carmen, creating a direct connection between the state of Yucatán and Playa del Carmen and avoiding detours through Cancún or Tulúm.
Federal Highway 305D was built and operated by Consorcio del Mayab, a unit of Empresas ICA which is also the concessionaire for Federal Highway 180D. The toll on the road is 75 pesos.
Highway 305D is signed as such through its entire route but legally considered part of Highway 180D.
Highway 305D begins at a junction along Highway 180D at El Tintal, between Ignacio Zaragoza and Valladolid Nuevo in Lázaro Cárdenas Municipality, absorbing a toll road connecting the route to Quintana Roo State Route 5. It then proceeds southeast to Playa del Carmen, becoming the local street Avenida Luis Donaldo Colosio. This local street connects to Highway 307, allowing access to other communities along the Riviera Maya.
The speed limit on Highway 305D is 110 kilometers per hour.
Consorcio del Mayab, which had built Federal Highway 180D, had a provision in its concession for that highway allowing it to build a spur to Playa del Carmen. Construction of a road covering this route had been proposed in 2000 but the Inter-American Development Bank denied a request for credit. A new proposal was made in 2010 though delays occurred due to environmental delays imposed by SEMARNAT.
