Bobby Foster Rd. is a road located in Albuquerque. Several scenes in both series and El Camino have been shot on locations both on and directly adjacent to this road. Due to its proximity to Albuquerque Studios it has also been used in numerous other film and television productions, including Terminator Salvation, The Last Stand, Sicario 2: Day of the Soldado.
While the road itself exists in the fictional canon, not every scene filmed on Bobby Foster should be considered to be actually located on that stretch of road in the fictional universe.
