Colorado authorities are intensifying their crackdown on traffic express lane rule violators, deploying more roadway surveillance technology and shifting from warnings to $75 civil penalties in an effort to improve highway safety.
The surveillance systems including sensors, cameras and tracking software detect violations and identify driver transgressors who cross the painted white lines separating express lanes from other lanes. Crossing those solid white lines greatly increases crash risks due to speed differences between express and other traffic.
Drivers caught crossing or weaving back and forth across the white lines on Interstate 25 north of Denver and C-470 in the south metro area will face the penalties starting Oct. 1 after a one-month grace period starting Sept. 1,Drivers who already have received mailed warnings during a grace period along the– where enforcement began on July 21 – no longer will receive warnings if caught violating the rules during the grace period for I-25 and C-470, CDOT officials said.
Drivers in Colorado commonly cross over solid white lines demarcating express lanes when traffic slows and when trying to pass vehicles already in the express lane, officials said. Along the I-70 Mountain Corridor west of Denver, the surveillance has led to at least 6,455 drivers receiving mailed tickets and another 7,135 receiving warnings, records show. The fines increase to $150 if not paid within 20 days.
