I don't know who runs C-470, (it's a separate entity), but the toll road on the Boulder Turnpike is run by a company based in Australia, which was awarded the contract without public input of any kind. That road was built and is maintained and improved using taxpayer dollars, so I wonder why a foreign entity was even allowed to bid for the contract?

I got a ticket for crossing out of the Express Lane because there was a DOT vehicle in the lane doing maintenance and had a neon sign with an arrow directing commuters out of the Express Lane. Luckily I have a DashCam and was able to prove that I was in the right. They don't even check... seems that the system just generates the ticket and no one vets that the incident merits a ticket. Im sure that if I didn't have my dash cam it would have turned out that I cannot prove it and would have had to pay the fine.

The other day I was heading East on I-70 out of Denver. There was an accident on the side of the road with tow truck, fire department and 4 cop cars blocking the lane. Everyone was forced to cross the double white line. I happened to be in the non toll lanee but was guessing everyone crossing those lines were going to get a ticket in a month. My dash cam only records about an hrs worth of footage before it loops. It doesn't have a button to save specific incidents so if I don't unplug it, the incident is gone before I get home from work.

@lladnarvladner87692 күн бұрын
Ditto that. It's no more dangerous to change lanes over double-white than to change lanes over dashed lines. I'm not saying that a dangerous lane change is OK, only that crossing double-white can be done just as safely as a legal lane change anywhere else. The only reason for the fine is to catch people for not properly entering toll lane at the correct locations. The fine should simply be the toll, or say double the tool (more than the toll to have some meaningful effect), rather than the crazy fines the private company charges. And no, I've never been fined for any of this, just stating my opinion on the matter.
@nickwinnАй бұрын
You can't get a ticket if your license plate isn't visible. The fine amounts are absurd, it could be a $10 fine and still have the same effect. The other issue is how this fine was legalized, CDOT signed away their rights to manage fines to a private company with the only rule being fines can't be over $250 dollars. There's no other public review of fines on those toll lanes.

As a NYer, I was thinking toll-weaving had to do with toll booths (boy, do we have them in spades here). If I understand your road design, those are express lanes and in order to drive in them, one has to pay the toll for doing so. Otherwise, you stay in the non-tolled lanes and just cruise on down the road. We have HOV lanes, so no tolls for them, but the same concept exists as to not crossing the double-white lines to go in or out of the HOV lane. I don't want to give any ideas to the various DOTs about using cameras for catching folks doing so, as we already have speed cameras and red-light cameras, not to mention the whole EZPASS tolling system for the bridges and tunnels. And our gov just kicked the congestion pricing tax down the road, so those cameras are not being used at the moment (all of us cynics here truly expect her to say Turn them on on Nov 6th). So how does one fight the bobbing and weaving camera tickets? Are there a few photos per summons that show you before, during, and after the crime? Our red light cameras do show the progression. Speed cameras we have to take them on faith.
