Interstate 40, NM-412 to NM-122/NM-371/NM-612

Reassurance shield after the 412 interchange

Location: I-40 and SR-412, McKinley Cty

I’m not really sure what’s up here- this is just a random reassurance shield a few miles west of 412. No visible rhyme or reason

Location: I-40 and SR-612, McKinley Cty

And here’s one just east of 612. Once again, noting at all to explain its presence

Location: I-40 and SR-612, McKinley Cty

Just after that, though, we’ll approach SR-612.  Sort of a complicated intersection, as the ramps for 40 west drop onto 122 and the ramps for 40 east drop onto 612, with the 371 junction right where the two surface routes meet, so they all sort of intersect right here. 371 goes all the way to Farmington.
