ALBUQUERQUE, NM –
People are questioning the city council’s recent decision to bring them back. Speed vans are returning to the ducal city, but are people ready for it?
One person said they almost got hit while walking and thinks the cameras are a good idea.
Speeding is an issue that many burquenos have grappled with firsthand.
“It’s really bad here in Albuquerque,” said Julian Avila, who lives in Albuquerque. “When you’re in Rio Rancho, you know you have to be very careful – I mean out here too, but not so much because it takes the police forever to pull up here in Albuquerque.”
The city wants to change this by bringing back express vans. The city council voted 8-1 last week.
“Until we have more officers on the streets of Albuquerque to reduce crime and give traffic quotes, I think this is a good method we can use,” said Councilor Brook Bassan.
Bassan is a co-sponsor of the regulation.
“The pictures are taken, whether in a van or on a trailer, they can be moved around town, pictures are taken of the driver – the license plate,” said Bassan.
But what is happening now? She said she needed to get quotes from different companies. They also want an APD employee, not an officer, to check the video so they don’t take another officer off the street. A rule committee is to refine the details in the coming days.
“How far above the speed limit are these triggered,” said Bassan. “Where will they be? We’re even considering putting it on trial. If people get a summons and they drive too fast and the camera goes off, maybe we can send out some warnings? … We didn’t want to include that in the regulation and have the unintended consequence of being pushed into a corner. “
Overall, people like Julian Avila think the cameras are a good idea.
“I think this is all to do with DUIs and all that stuff you know, so it stops a lot of people from going too fast,” Avila said.
Another person who didn’t want to go in front of the camera told KOAT that she believes that speed is necessary in this city to avoid getting blown or honked, so she would rather not see the cameras.
You will be fined up to $ 100 for speeding.
Councilor Bassan said she wanted to make sure they weren’t looking for profit, just hoping to raise people’s awareness.
