What to do if you have encountered a Dust Storm:

Throughout the year there are numerous dust storms that occur along the I-10 corridor running through New Mexico and as far as Arizona. While these natural occurrences are inevitable, negligent actions can be avoidable.

Encountering a dust storm is possible while traveling in New Mexico, however, there are specific road regulations in place to prevent accidents while a dust storm occurs.

1. Avoid stopping in a travel lane, slowly pull your vehicle completely off the highway and out of traffics way.
2. Turn off all of your vehicle lights, even your emergency lights to ensure other drivers know you are not operating your vehicle.
3. Set your emergency brake and patiently wait for the storm to pass. Dust Storms vary in time when they may pass.

Negligent drivers who fail to practice the NMDOT steps noted above can cause fatal accidents to other drivers on the road and can be held responsible for such injuries or fatalities.
