Only right turns are permitted from Pasilla Road onto Highway 528.
When using an alternate route, please observe the posted speed limits while traveling through the surrounding neighborhood. Thank you for your cooperation and consideration for our neighbors.
UPDATE on the traffic light request for Pasilla Rd. On Jan. 16, 2026, we held our second town hall here at the parish. Parish members were invited. City, County, and State government representatives attended. The State representative was Department of Transportation Secretary Ricky Serna. At that meeting, he told us that the traffic light wasn’t needed on weekdays but was needed on weekends. He said he had secured a light and it would take 18 months to install. He also said they would change the Pasilla / NM 528 intersection right away as a safety measure by only allowing people leaving Pasilla Rd onto NM 528 to turn right. Mr. Serna left the NM Department of Transportation one month after saying this. Right now, the NM DOT made the change to right turns only off of Pasilla and are delaying the traffic light installation until 2029 or 2030, according to their website. We have contacted the NM DOT and reminded them of what their former Secretary said, and the NM DOT knows we’re unhappy with the current plans. We encourage everyone who shares these concerns to stay informed, remain engaged, and continue making your voices heard. Together, we can work toward a safer Pasilla Road for all.
