ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – On a busy stretch of Broadway, neighbors complained of high speeds. The City of Albuquerque responded, but now drivers are confused as to what the actual speed limit is.
Neighbors along Broadway said the area lined with homes and businesses has an issue with speeding drivers with one saying, “Yeah, they need to slow down.”
It seems there’s some confusion as to how fast drivers should be going as one community member responded to the question of what the speed limit is, “Right here, I think it’s 30 or 35, I think. I really am not sure. I haven’t seen any signs.”

It’s been there since June: the speed camera near Broadway and Iron. The camera was pushed for by the South Broadway Neighborhood Association, and the city granted it by relocating it from Lead and Mesa.
However, now there’s confusion among drivers as to why they’re getting ticketed.
One said, “I think they need to post more signs. ‘Cause I recently got a ticket, and I went back down that area, and I didn’t see the sign that said the speed limit.”
