    I'm actually a fan of the roundabouts as they keep traffic flowing well.....you just have to drive very defensively in them.

    They're safer as well... but people that won't *enter* the roundabout when there's a space are the ones that get me really irritated.

    I can't agree more. I hardly use my turn signals like you, too.

    I don't trust anyone that *is* using their turn signals unless I actually saw them turn them on.

    If you ever need to see poorly implemented roundabouts look no further than Sedona AZ.

    And yeah, using a turn signal in a roundabout is a good indication of who you should give a wide berth to.

    Actually that isn't true at all.

    Check out Europe, blinkers in roundabouts is very common.

    A left blinker means "I'm staying in" and a right blinker means "I'm exiting the circle." I do this when there is traffic present, although few probably get it.

    ^^This. That's why I commented "good luck" - people can't figure out how to do roundabouts correctly, much less do turn signals in roundabouts correctly. Fuckin' morans.

    SB 238 signed to create new tax district to fund the front range rail.

    Meanwhile I70 gets sketchy toll lanes, more and more Amazon trucks, mudslides, frost heaves, and rental cars along with out of state plates.

    Give it enough time and the road will fall apart. Turn it back into a local road. Remove the interstate.

    So, if I heard correct: Flash flood watch like we have been getting all week is just a heads up, but if it is a FF Warning, they are shutting the hwy through the canyon.
    I still vote in favor of rain however whenever.

    OFFICIAL I70 BITCH THREAD....

    This list is weak
    https://www.outtherecolorado.com/fea...69666ec27.html

    No mention of wintertime boat pullers or amateur trailer jockeys in general.

    There are only 2 types of drivers - maniacs and morons.

    May the odds be in everyone’s favor this weekend.

    Edit to add, sure Simple:

    “Traveling Colorado’s I-70 can be quite the experience, especially during ski season. Here are a few of the most notable drivers you’ll encounter on the road.

    1. The Ski Bum-mobile
    Easily recognizable by the number of skis ratcheted to the top of the car, every seat of this vehicle is occupied by a slightly sleepy, yet super stoked individual. See those grins turn to sadness as the I-70 traffic starts to slow down their approach to the ski hill. Bonus points if this group is spotted in a Subaru.


    2. The Careless Truck Driver
    Of course, all truck drivers aren’t reckless, however, I-70 seems to attract its fair share of unpredictable big rig operators. With steep grades, numerous turns, and wild weather, I-70 can be a dangerous road for all vehicles, including commercial truck drivers. It’s easy to see why runaway ramps are found along the side of this mountain highway.

    3. The Person from the Plains
    This person has never driven on a high-speed mountain road before, thus they’re incredibly timid. You’ll spot them driving well below the speed limit, often giving a look of shock and awe to drivers that pass them at the posted speed. Usually, they’ll have an out-of-state license plate, traveling to Colorado from somewhere flat like Kansas or Texas. Give them some slack and avoid crowding these drivers. Keep in mind that they’re probably nervous and remember that we were all once novice drivers on mountain roads.

    4. The Speed Demon
    In contrast to the “person from the plains,” this driver seems to believe that they’re one part Jeff Gordon and another part Ricky Bobby. They’ll blast past fellow drivers regardless of the road conditions, utilizing moves that seem to indicate insanity. Posing a deadly risk to themselves and other drivers on the road, avoid being this person. Drive the speed limit and follow the posted rules to keep us all a little safer.

    5. The Beater Car
    Its engine is smoking. Its brakes are squealing. The tires aren’t even close to the traction law requirements. Frankly, it’s somewhat of a miracle that this car is capable of traveling Colorado’s mountainous stretch of I-70 at all. But it does, zipping along despite slow crawls to the speed limit and the trail of odd smells it leaves behind.

    6. The Barreling Tour Bus

    Similar to the “careless truck driver,” the barreling tour bus also seems to travel in an unpredictable fashion, albeit filled with often oblivious customers anxious to get to the slopes. Toss snowy roads into the mix and it’s easy to see how things could get dicey. Pass with care.

    7. The Amateur Photographer
    Watch out for a swerve when passing a vehicle controlled by a very distracted driver. Typically operated by someone that feels compelled to take photos of every scenic views along the I-70 mountain corridor, this driver is unpredictable. They’ll often drift out of their lane and their speed will vary greatly. If you want to take photos, hop into the passenger seat or stop at an official pull-over spot.

    8. The Snow-Driving Novice
    This driver unfortunately made the assumption that they’d quickly pick up the skill of technical winter weather driving on one of the slickest, fastest, and most technical stretches of interstate in the United States. They’ll likely be afraid and driving well below the speed of the vehicles that seem to be closing in around them, frequently yelling at their passengers to stay quiet so that they can concentrate. They’ll never be more relieved than when they finally reach the ski hill parking lot… until they realize they’ve still got to drive back home.

    It's not just winter weather, either. This type of driver can also appear during summer downpours and hailstorms.

    9. The Road Rager
    Interstate 70 never seems to have a moment of smooth traffic these days and some people really let that get to them. We get it. No one likes to be stuck in traffic for hours on end while road conditions worsen and the highway essentially becomes a large parking lot. These massive delays could literally lead to a life or death situation ( keep these items in your trunk). That being said, don't take it out on other drivers that are in the exact same boat, also annoyed and also frustrated. Don’t be like the Amazon truck driver that beat someone in the head with a tire thumper in I-70 lanes during a road rage incident of December 2019.

    10. The Overly Cautious Driver
    This driver follows the rules. They stay in their lane. They go the speed limit. Their tires meet all state requirements and their trunk is filled with life-saving essentials if the worst happens during winter travel. Though frustrating to speeders, there’s nothing wrong with being this driver. They help to set the pace on I-70 and act as a baseline for traffic while chaos ensues around them.

    Which driver are you? Did we leave a type of stereotypical I-70 driver off of our list? Let us know in the comments below.”

    The mindless zombies only go places if they're told it's the time to go places.

    We went camping with some friends like ten years ago on the 4th came to the realization that we are much better off staying home where the weather is cooler than pretty much anywhere else in the nation, and we know where all the good places to avoid tourists are.

    That blows.

    Aspen’s having a parade tomorrow and Main Street(Hwy82) will be closed.
    There will only be one street thru town and it’s already a cluster.

    I already committed to being in the thick of it.

    Yeah, the traffic sucked. But I'm having a pretty good time being out of town.

    Just got out of the Maroon Bells, through the clusterfuck of Aspen and to Leadville via Indy. Smooth sailing pretty much.
