Why arent more roads shown on the weather-related road conditions layer?
Although all closures are displayed, only major highways and routes are shown on the weather-related road conditions layer because of the way the condition is reported from the field. Live plow crews assess road conditions from the field and report them to district office personal as frequently as possible. Changes in conditions for less-traveled routes are not possible because crews are not available for assessment on a frequent basis. Remember: weather-related road conditions can change in a second! Use the map as only one information resource. Keep up with local weather forecasts and New Mexico Highway Patrol reports.
