New Mexico Route 599 is a state highway located entirely within Santa Fe County in New Mexico. It is known as the Veterans Memorial Highway and the Santa Fe Relief Route; both names are used on road signs. The latter name alludes to the highway's original purpose of bypassing the urbanized areas of Santa Fe and thereby relieving it from shipments of hazardous waste. It passes through less densely developed terrain in and around the northwestern boundary of the municipality. This expressway's total length is approximately 14 miles (23 km). The speed limits on it range from 45 to 65 miles per hour (70 to 105 km/h).
