Changes to NM Road Tracking and Consolidation?

I updated this particular page incidentally, but it appear that NMDOT has wholesale changed many of its record keeping activities.

Note I've left the major intersections alone, but technically you're really missing a fourth major intersection within the Farmington city limits at "Pinon Hills Blvd/Twin Peaks Blvd" (different names on either side of the highway). I don't have an exact milemarker/distance to add this in manually right now.

The NM Traffic Data Management System might be a useful reference, but I didn't have the time to scope it out in full. Other oddities include the fact that "Annual Average Daily Truck Traffic (AADTT) on State Owned and Maintained Roads" found here shows 7 segments instead of 3, so... whatever that means.

Whatever ultimately gets changed would traverse many, many stubs, so it also begs the question of how logical it is to maintain all of these stubs (unless someone has an automated way to update them all). In addition, roads are updated, extended, etc. every year, so it seems like quite the task for someone to chase. Just some things to ponder. 4CornersGuy (talk) 19:59, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
