Functional Classification of roads is adjusted specifically to accommodate certain routing issues within New Mexico. Therefore do not change functional classification of roads without socializing with the Waze Community in New Mexico. These roads have had special research and testing to optimize routing:

  • SR-26, Hatch NM to Deming NM, as Major Highway to allow routing from I-25 south to I-10 west and bypass Las Cruces.
