New Mexico Drivers Brace for Fee Hikes

New Mexico drivers brace for a 25% jump in registration fees starting July 1st—expect $27–$62 for one year or $54–$124 for two—funding critical road and bridge repairs with an extra $70 million annually. Commercial truckers face higher taxes, and EVs pay a new $35 annual fee, while RVs, motorcycles, trucks, and buses are exempt. Albuquerque ramps up traffic enforcement with 4 new speed cameras on high-crash zones, now totaling 34. Bernalillo County invites public input next Tuesday on a Fourth Street road diet: narrowing lanes, adding bike lanes and a new crosswalk signal for safer streets. And near Tierra Amarilla, expect delays starting July 8th as U.S. 64 and 84 undergo a 10-day lane-closure rehab with pilot cars guiding traffic.
