Automated Speed Enforcement
Everyone deserves to be safe while traveling our roadways in Albuquerque. Driving the speed limit is one way to help people get from point a to point b safely. Speed increases both the likelihood of a crash and the severity of the crash.
Automated speed enforcement is an effective tool to make roads safer and enforce posted speed limits. Automated speed enforcement programs have been shown to reduce vehicle speeds, crashes, injuries and fatalities. Automated enforcement does not require traffic stops, and can improve safety for all road users in a neutral manner.
Vehicles speeding through automated enforcement areas may receive a $100 ticket citation. Sample citation.
Read the Automated Speed Enforcement Ordinance O-23-78. Read the Automated Speed Enforcement regulation.
