US Highway 70 near Del Rey/Roadrunner Exit
Motorcyle officer(s) will park in the breakdown lane on the Westbound side of the highway about 1/2 mile west of the Del Rey/Roadrunner exit. The posted speed limit is 45 mph, with the sign about 1/4 mi east of the Del Rey exit. The highway goes over a rise at the Roadrunner Pkwy overpass, masking the officer’s position. The officer will measure the speed of vehicles as the clear the rise. Typical traffic speeds are 55-60 mph. It is easy to find yourself "speeding" down the grade. Most vehicles will need to apply the brake to keep from exceeding 45 mph.

I've seen them here before, going back to last year when I, a sophomore at New Mexico State University's Doña Ana Community College, had to commute to the East Mesa campus for one of my classes. Again, coming from the Northeast, a place where people generally go at least 10 to 15 miles an hour over the speed limit, especially on freeways and/or parkways and other limited access highways, I find the speed limit on this stretch to be absurd in both directions! Why do they need that forty-five mile an hour speed limit going almost 2 miles back (1.5 miles this time I clocked the distance from where it turns forty-five, to the Interstate 25 freeway)? Is it because of the fact that this area as many retired people? Or, is it because the three law-enforcement Gestapo agencies here in idiotville are desperate to make money, as is the case in many southern states like Florida? That, I'm not sure.
