Albuquerque, NM considers a traffic camera system which only targets vehicles at dangerous speeds
Albuquerque, NM automated traffic camera system
The City of Albuquerque is considering installing a new automated traffic camera system created by Redflex Traffic Systems. The mobile traffic camera system would only target vehicles moving at dangerous speeds. Violators would receive civil citations which would be handled administratively like parking tickets. Violators would have access to an appeal process and anyone who cannot afford fines would be offered alternatives such as community service.

Albuquerque officials hope to bring back traffic cameras
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Officials in Albuquerque hope to bring back automated traffic cameras after the city discontinued a traffic camera system about a decade ago. The Albuquerque Journal reports that a proposed new system, unlike the widely disliked red light camera system previously used by the city, would be mobile and target only speeding vehicles — although not low-level speeders going a few miles over the limit.
