N.M. Admin. Code § 18.19.8.93 - PASSING AND INTERSECTIONS
A.
A rear escort vehicle driver shall not prevent a motorist from passing the
oversize vehicle but shall inform the driver of the oversize vehicle by two-way
radio that a motorist is attempting to pass so appropriate precautions can be
taken. Advance warning is especially important when large trucks are attempting
to pass the oversize vehicle.
B.
When it is necessary for the oversize vehicle to pass other vehicles or to make
a wide turn, the rear escort vehicle shall clearly signal an intention to pass
or turn and move into the passing or turning lane well before the oversize
vehicle initiates the maneuver The rear escort driver shall stay in the passing
or turning lane until the oversize vehicle completes the pass or
turn.
C. If a front escort vehicle
passes through an intersection and the oversize vehicle is required to stop for
a red light, the escort driver shall stop as soon as possible on the right side
of the road and not resume travel until the oversize vehicle approaches the
required distance. When an escort driver following an oversize vehicle is
required to stop at a traffic light after the oversize vehicle has passed
through the intersection, the oversize vehicle driver shall continue its
movement and the rear escort driver shall resume a normal following distance
after the driver has proceeded through the intersection.
