EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — The New Mexico State Police would like to remind drivers of Commercial Motor Vehicles (CMV) of a new law passed in July 2023 regarding driving in the right lane.
According to the new state law, a truck tractor shall not be driven in the left lane of a roadway unless actively passing another vehicle. Failure to obey could result in a penalty assessment of $250 for the first and second offenses and $500 for the third offense.
The NMDOT will continue to place official signs on New Mexico Roadways to remind CMV drivers of the change as they travel through the state.
