The U.S. State Department has originated a travel warning in tourist haven towns along Mexico's Caribbean coast amid clashes between disgruntled taxi drivers and Uber rideshare customers and drivers.

The danger comes after medallion taxi drivers in Mexico's Quintana Roo situation, home to Cancun and other popular tourist areas on the Yucatan Peninsula, have been harassing and attacking drivers and passengers in Uber vehicles due to frustrations over the competition that the ride-share ceremony provides.

Taxi drivers even blocked one of the main roads leading to the hotel district in the resort of Cancun Monday. That forced some tourists to walk or catch rides in police pickups to get their trips out, or check in.

The State Department advised travelers that "past fights between these services and local taxi unions have occasionally turned violent, resulting in injuries to U.S. citizens in some instances."

Social believe sites have been full over the last two days of videos showing tourists populate berated — and in one case, apparently manhandled — by groups of certain uniformed taxi drivers.

The Cancun police department shared photos of travelers pulling into the bed of police trucks, and said "given the blockades on the Kukulcan boulevard, our transit officers helped people get to the airport."

Cancun's mayor has called on the taxi drivers to show restraint.

"I am not progressing to allow a small group to damage the reputation of the resort and domain safety," Mayor Ana Patricia Peralta said in a taped message.

The Taxi Union, representing about 12,000 members in Cancun, were incensed by a Jan. 11 date ruling that allows Uber to operate without a republican transport license that is required of taxis, Mexico News Daily reported.

Uber did not today respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital. 

The confidence warning comes after the State Department has issued fade advisories in dozens of Mexican states due to crime companies including "Do Not Travel" advisories to the states of Zacatecas, Guerrero, Colima, and others.
