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 '''[http://dot.state.nm.us/content/dam/nmdot/planning/Federal_Function_Classification.pdf THIS MAP]''' (which has low resolution) which is on [http://dot.state.nm.us/en/Planning.html NMDOT's Planning Page].
===== Deviations from FC =====
*Longer rural roads classified as "Major Collector" on the FC map should be set to {{Minor Highway|Minor}} rather than {{Primary Street|PS}} to avoid pruning of valid routes.


=== Special Road Treatment ===
* State highways that are classified on the State FC map as "Minor Collector," but are dirt/gravel, should be set to {{Primary Street|PS}} and have the unpaved box checked, instead of {{Minor Highway|Minor}}.


*'''[[Alley#Parking_Lot_Road|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.
* SR-26, Hatch NM to Deming NM, is set to {{Major Highway|Major}} to allow routing from I-25 south to I-10 west and bypass Las Cruces.
*'''[[Road_types/USA#Dirt_Road_.2F_4X4_Trail|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 (BLM)|'''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|'''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.


* Paseo del Norte, Eagle Ranch Rd NW intersection to I-25, is set to {{Freeway|Freeway}} due to meeting the requirements as one.

GIS Legend

The New Mexico Classification and Color scheme comes from the official New Mexico D.O.T (NMDOT) Functional Classification (FC) map that is published by NMDOT. The legend shows what classifications NMDOT uses and what color is assigned to each class. The actual interactive State Map can be found here:

Deviations from FC
  • Longer rural roads classified as "Major Collector" on the FC map should be set to  Minor  rather than  PS  to avoid pruning of valid routes.
  • State highways that are classified on the State FC map as "Minor Collector," but are dirt/gravel, should be set to  PS  and have the unpaved box checked, instead of  Minor .
  • SR-26, Hatch NM to Deming NM, is set to  Major  to allow routing from I-25 south to I-10 west and bypass Las Cruces.
  • Paseo del Norte, Eagle Ranch Rd NW intersection to I-25, is set to  Freeway  due to meeting the requirements as one.
