Summary
Doña Ana County received a report on its Comprehensive Roadway Safety Action Plan noting 450 pieces of public input and persistent excessive speeding, a pattern of crashes on clear-weather days, and high rates of run-off-road collisions.
On Feb. 11, 2025, Doña Ana County officials received a presentation on the county's Comprehensive Roadway Safety Action Plan from consulting firm Bohannon Houston, which summarized public feedback and preliminary findings.
The presentation, recapped by Anita Skipper, Doña Ana County's chief public information officer, said the county collected 450 pieces of input identifying areas of concern on county roads. The consultant's summary highlighted excessive speeding as prevalent across the county, that most crashes occurred on days without inclement weather, and that run-off-road collisions and impacts with fixed objects or other vehicles were common.
County officials and the consultant framed the plan around reducing fatalities and serious injuries for all road users, including pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists, according to Skipper's recap. The presentation did not include a vote or a formal policy decision at the Feb. 11 meeting.
The report is presented as part of a countywide effort to identify safety priorities and inform future engineering, enforcement and education measures. No specific funding allocations or project schedules were announced in the meeting recap.
The presentation was informational; the county has not recorded a formal action on the plan in the meeting recap.
