Albuquerque, New Mexico Speed Traps

Heading west on Montgomery away from Tramway and toward Juan Tabo: WATCH OUT. They’re sitting there on the north side of the street shooting fish in a barrel because even on cruise control your car will speed up on the downhill grade…

A dozen or more cops in the Black Triangular Glass building at the corner of Louisiana and Constitution. Two or three use the gun and jump out into traffic, waving people into the parking lot where they get ticketed and often their cars towed. Usually in the afternoon between 3:00 and 5:00 about three times a month.

1-2 squad cars parked at bottom of hill, using Laser/ KA band to get people coming over the hill crest. Officers walking in middle of road to make you pull over. Has been on-going for a solid week for 8-10 hours a day.

If you are heading south on Eagle Ranch after passing Costco they are in the second entrance of an apt complex on the right and if heading north they sit on the last street before Coors Bypass (across from Costco).

Been a while, but I flew in, rented a car, turned east out of the carport onto Sunport Blvd and went up what turned out to be the entrance ramp to the airport, which the hill blocks from view. On the ramp, the speed limit signs stairstep down rapidly to 15 mph. (Later, I saw that some were hidden behind trees.) As you crest the entrance ramp hill, boom, you’re in the offload area with an officer flagging you over. I had been looking for a left turn, which wasn’t to be found, and had a ticket (25 in a 15) within 3 minutes of renting that car. Perfect trap for out-of-towners and for reckless driving charges. In-towners — fix those signs.
