Key Routes and Traffic Patterns
Las Cruces sits at the crossroads of two major interstates, making it a critical junction for both local commuters and long-distance travelers in southern New Mexico. According to data from the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT), the I-10 corridor between Las Cruces and the Texas state line handles an average of 32,400 vehicles daily, with commercial trucks making up approximately 22% of that volume. Commuters in the Mesilla Valley enjoy a relatively efficient network; U.S. Census data indicates an average one-way commute of just 18.7 minutes, significantly shorter than the national average of 26.6 minutes.
I-25 and I-10 Interchange
The interchange where I-25 meets I-10 is the busiest traffic point in the Las Cruces metro area. While I-10 handles heavy interstate through-traffic, I-25 serves as the primary link to Albuquerque, processing an Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) of approximately 11,800 vehicles just north of the city. During morning and evening rush hours, congestion builds as commuters travel between Las Cruces and nearby communities. The interchange also handles significant freight traffic moving between El Paso and points north and west.
Research from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) found that access to real-time traveler information systems can reduce incident-related delays by as much as 40% by enabling drivers to divert to alternate routes before becoming trapped in highway gridlock.
University Avenue Corridor
New Mexico State University generates heavy traffic along University Avenue, particularly during the academic year. NMDOT reports and University of New Mexico research indicate that driver inattention and excessive speed remain leading factors in regional accidents, making real-time monitoring especially important during high-activity periods like NMSU game days. Cameras along this corridor help you time your trips around campus activity.
US-70 and White Sands
US-70 east of Las Cruces provides the primary route to White Sands Missile Range and Holloman Air Force Base. Military operations occasionally close portions of US-70, and traffic cameras help you verify road status before heading east through the Tularosa Basin.

Dust Storms and Visibility
Las Cruces and the Mesilla Valley are prone to dust storms, particularly during spring and early summer. High winds can reduce visibility to near zero on I-10 and I-25 within minutes. Traffic cameras let you check visibility conditions before heading out on open highway stretches where dust is most dangerous.
Monsoon Season
Summer monsoon storms from July through September bring sudden heavy rain and flash flooding. Low-lying areas along the Rio Grande and arroyos crossing city streets can flood quickly. Monitor cameras on Lohman Avenue, Main Street, and other low-elevation routes during afternoon storms.
Sun Glare
East-west routes like US-70 and Lohman Avenue experience severe sun glare during morning and evening commutes. Check camera feeds to gauge visibility conditions, especially during fall and winter when the sun angle is lowest.

BUILD A ROUTE →Las Cruces Commuter Tips
Morning Rush (7:00 AM - 8:30 AM)
The heaviest morning traffic flows south on I-25 toward the NMSU campus and downtown employment centers. Telshor Boulevard and Lohman Avenue see significant east-west traffic as commuters head to the commercial district. Users can also monitor live street feeds along Main Street and Lohman Avenue to check for road-level gridlock near the historic district or local events. Check cameras before leaving to pick between University Avenue and Main Street for your north-south route.
Evening Rush (4:30 PM - 6:00 PM)
Evening congestion reverses the morning pattern, with northbound I-25 and eastbound Lohman Avenue carrying the heaviest loads. Friday evenings add El Paso-bound traffic on I-10 eastbound. Monitor the I-25/I-10 interchange cameras to decide whether to take I-10 west or surface streets.
Weekend and Event Traffic
NMSU football games, Las Cruces Farmers Market on Saturdays, and events at the Las Cruces Convention Center create localized congestion. White Sands National Park traffic on weekends increases US-70 volumes, particularly during spring and fall.
El Paso Border Traffic
Many Las Cruces residents commute to or from El Paso. Check I-10 and I-25 south cameras before heading to the border. Fort Bliss and WSMR shift changes can create unexpected congestion on US-70 and I-25.
