The New Mexico Highway Department has designated a 17 mile stretch of Interstate 10 from the Interstate 25 split to the Texas state line as a "Safety Corridor". They have implemented double fines for speeding ($69 to a maximum of $439!) and the enforcement has been greater than usual. The county Sheriff and state PD generally use radar but they do posses a laser unit or two. A similar "Safety Corridor" has been set up from Deming, NM west to Lordsburg, NM along I-10.
