Silverthorne News
Last year, the Colorado Transportation Investment Office (CTIO – the government-owned business within CDOT that oversees Colorado’s Express Lanes) began using new technology to enforce weaving on Express Lane corridors throughout Colorado. This system identifies vehicles that are weaving in and out of the Express Lanes over the solid lines, an action that is unsafe and dangerous for themselves and other motorists. Civil penalties for violating the Express Lane rules start at $75 if paid within 20 days. After 20 days, the fine increases to $150. Learn more at expresslanes.codot.gov.
