If anyone needs reminding, Memorial Day Weekend brings the police out in force! For those traveling early, be prepared. From Albuquerque to Taos and back, I saw at least 7 ot 8 police, 3 or 4 with lights a blazin. What I'm saying is watch your step carefully. I always suggest traveling with a radar detector. An inexpensive one is usually adequate. If you want to spend the big buck, that's good too. Remember, if it's not on, it doesn't work. :-)
The area around Pojoaque is always populated with numerous green stamp issuers. Saw 2 or 3 along there yesterday.
The other item that needs emphasis for those taking the road from ABQ, just North of ABQ is about 10 miles of freeway construction with reduced speed limits and double fines. Two tickets being written yesterday. There is also a long project just North of Pojoaque into Espanola. Both include reduced numbers of lanes in some places,reduced width of lanes, lane reallignments, speed reductions.
Nothing ruins a weekend more than an unexpected and expensive ticket. Saving 1 ticket pays for a radar detector. If your using a GPS device, they are usually accurate at speed limits.
Remember, there are a lot of motorcycles on the roads of Northern NM this weekend. Please use caution and care. Every year either they or the 4 wheelers are absent crainial awareness and someone gets dumped.
Keep your eyes open! And your wheels down.
We want you to arrive safely at Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza for your first weekend of summer.
