New Mexico 528 Safety Revisited | Santa Fe News

New Mexico 528 in Rio Rancho is getting a safety overhaul after 25 crashes in four years—new delineators, signs, and road markings aim to guide drivers at a high-risk intersection. Officials admit 9 crashes might’ve been prevented with a traffic signal, but ruled it unnecessary for now. Meanwhile, parents near schools like Explore Academy and Rio Tech are sounding the alarm on Zenith Court, where dangerous merges force drivers to accelerate abruptly—some even triggering car safety alerts. They’re demanding school zones, lower speed limits, or traffic lights to prevent another tragedy. DOT says they’re not finished, with plans to revisit the signal idea as traffic and development grow—possibly by 2029 or 2030.
