Effective Jan. 1, drivers who weave in and out of express lanes in Colorado will automatically be ticketed.
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is introducing electronic enforcement along US-36, I-70 through Denver, and the I-25 South Gap, using cameras and sensors to monitor toll lanes. This includes areas outside designated zones in Central 70, I-25 South Gap, and the US-36 corridors.
During a 30-day grace period, thousands of warnings were issued to drivers who entered and exited express lanes improperly. But as of Jan. 1, violators will be fined.
Tim Hoover, a spokesperson for CDOT, says this was created to make the roads safer for drivers.
