Frequently Asked Questions
Q Why am I being asked to stop when the road
closure is so far away?
Allowing trips to continue towards a road
closure compounds problems by fi lling
emergency parking beyond capacity. Trucks
are forced to park illegally thereby incurring
fi nes and creating additional traffi c hazards
and congestion.
Q After a road closure, why am I still being told
to park when I hear over the radio that other
areas are being released?
After a road closure, vehicles are released in a
staged manner to ensure the safe and effi cient
fl ow of traffi c. Releasing vehicles at the same
time increases congestion, which can create
greater delays and reduce safety.
Q After I chain-up, can I continue with my
load?
Yes; however, for safety and effi ciency
purposes, CDOT personnel or law
enforcement may control the reentry of
vehicles from the chain stations to the
highway.
Q When can I take my chains off?
When designated by sign or when bare
pavement is present on a descending grade.
Call 511 for current chain law status.
Q Does my trailer need to be chained when
chains are required?
Colorado has no rule or statute requiring
chains on trailers.
Q Where can I chain-up?
Refer to the I-70 Truck Parking Guide for chain
station locations.

WINTER DRIVING
Winter Driving
It is not uncommon for travel conditions around our state to vary signifi cantly, not only between
the plains and the mountains, but literally from mile to mile on the same road.
At times temperatures can hover in the fi fties near Denver while snow is falling a short 30 minute
drive west of town. High winds across the plains can limit visibility during snow storms or shaded
areas on mountain and canyon roads can present icy conditions on otherwise dry highways.
Although uncommon, Colorado has even had snow in the higher elevations on the 4th of July!
All of these factors make Colorado a distinctive place to drive during the winter.
In an effort to minimize the effects of Colorado’s special weather and road conditions, reduce
the number of travel delays and in a proactive approach to fi ghting air pollution, Colorado
has implemented intensive public information campaigns, adopted strict chain guidelines for
Commercial vehicles and begun widespread use of alternative de-icing compounds.
The CDOT Winter Driving Initiative is a comprehensive safe driving program designed to educate
motorists in Colorado regarding winter driving conditions. The Winter Driving Initiative focuses
on providing information and answering questions in four areas: Road treatments, snow removal,
road conditions, and winter driving preparedness. By providing a single source of information in
these areas, CDOT hopes to raise awareness of winter driving issues and help keep Colorado roads
safer in the winter months.

Chain Up Tips
Colorado’s chain law applies to all state, federal, and interstate highways in Colorado.
Defi nitions –
Under the Colorado chain law, a commercial vehicle is defi ned as being used in
commerce to transport passengers or property and fi tting into one of the following categories:
Notifi cation –
When the chain law is in effect, drivers will be notifi ed which vehicles must
chain up and where by the following means: electronic message signs; 511 traveler information;
www.cotrip.org; and media outlets.
Carrying Chains on I-70 (effective Sept.1, 2007)
– Commercial vehicles operating on I-70 in either
direction between mileposts 163 (Edwards) and 259 (Morrison) from Sept. 1 to May 31 must carry
suffi cient chains at all times to be in compliance with the Colorado chain law.
Chaining up –
The chain law and the temporary winter road closures may occur at any time based on
road conditions. When a highways reopens, or after chaining-up, re-entry onto the highway may be
controlled to facilitate the safe and effi cient fl ow up traffi c. Metal chains must consist of two circular
metal loops, one on each side of the tire, connected by not less than nine evenly-spaced chain loops
across the tread. Commercial vehicles that have four or more drive wheels must chain four wheels.
Dual tire chains are acceptable.
Has a gross combination weight rating of
26,001 or more lbs. inclusive of a towed
unit which has a gross vehicle weight rating
of more than 10,000 lbs.
or
Has a gross
vehicle weight
rating of 26,001
or more lbs.
or
Is designed to
transport 16 or
more passengers,
including the driver.

WINTER DRIVING
Alternate Traction Devices (ATDs) –
Approved ATDs in Colorado are wheel sanders, which must carry
enough sand to get the vehicle through the restricted are, and pneumatically driven chains, which
spin under the drive wheels automatically as traction is lost. New – probationary use of AutoSockTM
alternate traction device will be allowed on a trial basis in the winter of 2008/09; however,
probationary approval may be withdrawn at any time.
Tire Cables –
With only two exceptions, Colorado chain law rules do not permit tire cables as
alternate traction devices. The exceptions are 1) tire cables with high strength steel cross member
rollers 0.415” or great in diameter, which can be used on all commercial vehicles except single drive
axle combinations; and 2) on a tandem power drive axle commercial vehicle, where any type of cable
can be used only if there are chains on the two outside tires of one of the power drive axles and
cables on two or more tires of the other power drive axle.
Chain Law Level 1 –
All single drive axle combination commercial vehicles must chain all four drive
wheels; cables are not permitted as ATDs. All other commercial vehicles must have snow tires or
chains. Level 1 may be implemented any time there is snow covering any part of the traveled portion
of pavement on an ascending grade.
Chain Law Level 2 –
All commercial vehicles must chain up. Single drive axle and tandem drive axle
combination commercial vehicles must chain four drive wheels. Autotransports must comply to the
extent possible without causing damage to the hydraulic lines. Buses must chain two drive wheels
to comply. Level 2 may be implemented any time there is snow covering the entire traveled portion
of pavement on an ascending grade, or when driving conditions dictate that this level is necessary to
protect safety and to minimize road closures.

VI
Violations –
The fi ne for not carrying chains on I-70 between mileposts 163 and 259 Sept. 1 to May
31 is $50 plus a $17 surcharge. Statewide, the fi ne for not chaining up when the chain law is in
effect is $500 plus a $157 surcharge. The fi ne for not chaining up and subsequently blocking the
highway is $1,000 plus a $313 surcharge. Chain laws are strictly enforced and trucks may be
subject to inspection.
Must hazardous material tankers and transporters comply with the chain law?
Yes. Vehicles placarded
for fl ammable, combustible, or explosive loads may pass the chain-up signs and install their chains
where pavement is covered by snow or ice, at a safe location outside the traveled portion of the
highway.
When can chains be removed?
Call 511 for current chain law status. The chain law will cease where
bare descending pavement is encountered, and when electronic signs cease to display ‘chain law in
effect’ information.
More information on Colorado’s chain law can be found at www.cotrip.org.

VII
Noise Law
Many of Colorado’s highways pass near or through communities and residential areas. Because of
the close proximity to the highway, people in these areas are especially sensitive to highway noise.
When traveling through these areas, please be a good neighbor and don’t use train whistles and
air horns unless necessary for safety. Colorado law requires commercial vehicles equipped with an
engine compression brake device have a muffl er for the device. Violation of this law is punishable
by a fi ne.
Waste Law
It is illegal in Colorado to throw or deposit waste from a vehicle upon the highway. This includes
the discarding of human waste (feces or urine) along the highway. The depositing of human waste
along a highway is punishable by a fi ne.
Left Lane Law
A driver shall not drive in the left-most lane (passing lane) of a multi-lane highway with a posted
speed limit of 65 mph or greater unless they are passing other vehicles, turning left, or if the
volume of traffi c does not allow them to merge to the right (non-passing lane). Violators of the
Left Lane Law can be cited.
VIII
Seat Belt Law
Colorado law requires the driver and all front seat passengers to wear safety belts whenever a
truck is operated on a public road in the State. The requirement does not apply if federal law
does not require the vehicle to be equipped with safety belt systems. The driver of the vehicle
is responsible for buckling up and ensuring all passengers covered by the law are buckled up.
Drivers may be fi ned for violating this law.
Additional information on Colorado Seat Belt Law is available at www.cotrip.org.
Move Over Law
When approaching an emergency vehicle operating its emergency lights on the shoulder a driver
must safely move to the left lane when two or more lane are available. If traffi c, road, or weather
conditions do not allow a driver to move over to the left lane, drivers must slow to a safe speed
while moving past the emergency vehicle. Volition of the “Move Over Law” could result in 4 points
against the violator’s Colorado driver’s license.

Hazardous Material
I-70 is a designated route for transporting hazardous materials east or west across the State of
Colorado. There are two locations in Colorado where the route for vehicles transporting hazardous
materials east or west across the state deviates from I-70. These locations are as follows:
EISENHOWER TUNNEL
MP 213-215: Vehicles transporting hazardous materials are required to use US 6 (EB Exit 205,
WB Exit 216) to bypass the Eisenhower Tunnel. If this section of US 6 is closed for any reason,
CDOT will process vehicles transporting hazardous materials through the Eisenhower Tunnel at
the top of the hour. Vehicles may wait for processing through the tunnel at the staging areas at the
approaches to the tunnel (EB MP 213, WB MP 215).
DOWNTOWN DENVER
MP 269-279: Vehicles transporting hazardous materials are required to use I-76 and I-270
(EB Exit 269B, WB Exit 279) to bypass Downtown Denver.
