LAS CRUCES – Motorists heading to Albuquerque should take note of new automated speed enforcement cameras that went live this week, adding four additional monitoring points across the city. Officials say the expansion is part of a broader safety initiative designed to slow traffic and reduce serious crashes on some of Albuquerque’s busiest roadways.
According to a report on KOB-TV, the new camera locations include northbound Broadway Boulevard SE between Iron Avenue and Coal Avenue, northbound Unser Boulevard NW near Old Ouray Road, southbound Juan Tabo Boulevard NE near Copper Avenue, and westbound Zuni Road between Mesilla and Espanola. City officials stated the locations were chosen based on crash statistics, analysis of high-risk traffic corridors, and input from the community.
With the latest additions, Albuquerque now operates speed cameras in 29 locations citywide. Officials report the automated enforcement program has resulted in roughly 600,000 citations since it began, and additional camera installations are expected later this year as the city continues to expand the system.
