Semi trucks are now restricted to the right lane of two-lane highways except for actively passing in New Mexico.
This new law, passed earlier this year, goes into effect today.
From CDL Life:
Starting on July 1, 2023, New Mexico’s new law banning trucks from using the left lane goes into effect, with some exceptions.
The law requires trucks to stay in the right lane of any two or more lane highway unless actively passing another vehicle.
According to New Mexico State Police (NMSP), failure to obey could result in a penalty assessment of $250 for the first and second offenses and $500 for the third offense.
