It gets very dry here in New Mexico and wildfires have been happening more and more. When the smoke crosses the roads, it can be so thick that drivers run into the backs of each other.
We also get brown outs when the wind kicks up the dust - I got caught in one of those and you literally can't see the front of your own car. Pretty scary! Just one of the joys of living in the desert!

I'm from New Mexico and lived in Texas, and I don't recall those signs. Does it literally say not to drive through smoke or is it a picture symbol?

Jane B has a good answer about wildfire smoke. Here in Texas, at least down in the central portion were I am, I've never seen such a sign.

Just dont drive thru the smoke. Thats what it means. If there is a wild fire you might drive through the smoke and not be able to see.

It means don't try to drive when you can't see where you're going. You might end up in the middle of a brush fire and get cooked.

They mean when there is smoke, do not drive through it. Pretty simple, eh?
