Southern Tier (El Paso - Las Cruces)

The Southern Tier between El Paso and Las Cruces follows NM-28. That seems like a busy road to me and there are no shoulders. Isn't it better to take quieter parallel roads?

Note that part of the road is parallel to I-10.  It's usually the case that when an interstate is built parallel to another road, the interstate gets the lion's share of the traffic.  NM-28, though I haven't ridden or driven it, likely has local traffic only.  Just avoid rush hours, including the end of school.

It is a good route to take.  I have bicycled El Paso to Las Cruces quite a few times.
