Revision as of 22:19, 25 February 2015
Interstates
Interstates in New Mexico are the following:
- I-10 Arizona to Texas
- I-40 Arizona to Texas
- I-25 Colorado to I-10
Other Important Major Roads
- US-550 Farmington to Albuquerque
- US-285 Colorado to Texas
- US-60 Arizona to Texas
- US-54 El Paso, TX to NW Texas
- SR-26 Hatch NM to Deming NM, critical for functional classification routing
Functional Classification
Reference: Road names/USA and Road types/USA. New Mexico participates in the functional classification of roads; however, this is a new standard that is going through changes and all changes should be socialized with existing primary editors in the state. New Mexico has a strong tie to maintain consistency with the state of Arizona.
New Mexico's functional classification is not completely clear. Reference to the Federal Functional Classification can be found in THIS MAP (which has low resolution) which is on NMDOT's Planning Page.
Special Road Treatment
- Alleys:New Mexico has a significant number of navigable alleys. Per the Waze Functional Classification Page, mapped alleys will be marked as Parking Lot roads because they are publicly accessible. There is no need to map alleys that are not yet mapped and no need to delete alleys that are already mapped. Mapping of new alleys is at the discretion of the local editors.
- Dirt Roads: Because New Mexico is relatively rual, even in larger cities, dirt roads can be important in navigation and may even support freeway speeds. Dirt roads may be marked as streets, primary streets, and in some cases minor highways depending on their use and condition. Until specific guidance can be produced, seek involvement from local editors before changing these roads.
- Indian Reservation Roads: Native American Indian reservations have jurisdiction over their own roads, although certain federal, state, and county roads can cross their lands. Before you edit on these lands you should be familiar with this Wiki page.
- Forest Service Roads: New Mexico and many states in the USA have US Forest Service Road systems that have their own functional classification and rules. Before editing on these roads and associated landmarks, consider this Wiki page.
- Bureau of Land Management Roads: New Mexico and many western states in the USA have Bureau of Land Management (BLM) roads that have their own standards. Before editing on these roads and associated landmarks, consider this wiki page. BLM also manages certain National Monuments.
- National Park Service Roads: While not significantly different from normal roads, you should consult this Wiki page before editing these roads and their associated landmarks.
