Banning trucks at peak times is the ONLY solution for Colorado's narrow corridor....no matter the weather, in spite yes, but also during peak population.
Why is it the only solution...? Trucks, 18 wheeler type and other construction type big trucks are the biggest reason for slowdowns, which more often leads to accidents, more wasted time and wasted fuel.
Traffic signals are also a HUGE culprit of time and fuel waste, but your buddy working for the petroleum industry is only bragging about "getting paid!!!". so fuck off with that shit.Terje was right.

Solutions, i forgot to suggest at least one.
From my understanding, recently all the big trucks have some sort of transponders to monitor everything during their routes and communicate with each different state highway system. I guess it is a relatively recent and across the board culture shift in big business trucking, which has many benefits to people protecting their states from these transportation companies....all big trucks, except i guess local gravel trucks here in colorado , but i expect them to be monitored soon too.
Peak ski hours.....shut all the big trucks down. we have the land for their staging areas. we don't lose the interstate commerce because it is infrequent and good laws actual force other revenue to appear.Terje was right.

OFFICIAL I70 BITCH THREAD....
Agree. They're a moving 30-40 mph pinch point. I cannot believe I70 was built without a extra slow lane on the big hills for trucks to ascend.
It also doesn't help when people cannot pass on the left at a reasonable speed and also you have assholes who cut into the left lane, right before the slow truck, even if there's no space for them, causing everyone else to slam on their brakes in the left lane. Just a clusterfuck all around.

A slow truck is the equivalent 1/4mi lane closure... or worse

People not accelerating uphill sucks ass too. Thats the biggest problem with 36's traffic. That and people slowing down way before their exit or not speeding up enough on the ramp.

That's it in a nutshell.
They can't restrict trucks without loosing federal funding.
I think the only solution would be to make 70 a toll road with variable pricing for peak periods.
Make it really expensive and trucks will avoid it, people will car pool and maybe ski buses could gain some traction.
But that would never pass the legislature.

Sounds like the plans for the Westbound Express Toll Lane and the changes to the US 6 exit/interchange are gonna be another 4 year clusterfuck for a narrow lane that can only be used ~70 days a year. Another expensive band aid in terms of cost and construction impacts. Can't wait for more phantom lane closures from Your Way Safety and Sign and CDOT!!

They already widened the tunnel... why will it take 4 years to add 13 miles of 1/2 of a lane and do up an interchange? When does the mayhem start?

Just fucking plow Idaho Springs, add 4 lanes both directions, blow up the Twin Tunnels and be done with it.

Just drove through the tunnel and EB was closed. Just wet slush, but as soon as that freezes, it'll be slicker that a wet weasel on a wood floor.

Bomb all the tunnels and force everyone to fly into Summit by helicopter. That'll solve your overcrowded problem.

I drive a lot, have for years, and I believe 100% of the issue with people driving is that we take a test when we are 16 and most never take one again. People form bad habits and there aren't typically consequences for left lane cruisers or failing to signal or using the brake all the damn time for zero reason. All the driving issues we all hate and bitch about would be improved if you had to keep passing driving tests to maintain driving privileges.
