New Mexico Roads Rank Fourth In Nation

Mountain Mail reports

New Mexico has ranked fourth in a recent Reader’s Digest publication noting the best roads in America. According to a press release form the New Mexico Dept. of Transportation, the magazine article used data from the Federal Highway Administration to determine rankings based on safety, congestion and conditions of roads and bridges in each state.
Kansas, Wisconsin and Montana preceded New Mexico in the list and Utah rounded out the top five. Transportation Secretary Gary L.J. Girón said his department strives to improve mobility throughout the state.
“Our transportation infrastructure has been recognized continuously over the last several years for its smoothness and performance,” Girón said. “In addition, our roadways have become increasingly safer.”
The Reader’s Digest article added that New Mexico also ranked 19th in the category of the country’s most dangerous roads, including the top 10 deadliest for DWIs and speeding.
