Yes. Like in many states, drivers in New Mexico can turn right at red lights after coming to a full stop and yielding to pedestrians and other cars.
Red light violations in New Mexico could lead to a $25 fine and three demerit points added to your driving record—all of which could negatively impact your insurance rates. But you can easily save on
