This upcoming safety initiative will modify the roadway striping to mitigate municipal safety concerns about fire truck access while still addressing the key concerns identified in the safety plan.  The road diet enhancement project does specifically target traffic calming and driver guiding to enhance safety for all roadway users. 

New Pavement Markings: We're reconfiguring the road markings to mitigate municipal safety concerns while maintaining the road diet concept. Upgraded Signs & New Installations: Keep an eye out for new and clearer signs to guide you along the road with ease. Delineator Systems: These new markers will improve visibility and prevent vehicles from accidentally entering into the bikeway. Other Construction Enhancements: Various updates, including radar speed feedback units, will support the road users, ensuring smoother and safer traffic flow for everyone.

What's Next: These upgrades will be observed and evaluated to determine if future improvements would further enhance the safety on the road. This project has been funded through the NMDOT Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and will be let for construction in the Winter of 2025.
