Clear Creek Canyon State Patrol is ticketing!

FYI, CO State Patrol has been put on notice by their head person due to too many complaints for those who drive US 6 through CCC. So, they have up to 4 patrollers ticketing speeders at a time. The speed limit is 40 mph through the entire canyon!

Tickets for 55 mph cost 4 points and $170.

It's very easy to unintentionally speed especially when going downhill after a good day climbing!

Be careful out there.

Thanks for the heads up. Maybe the increased police presence will discourage car break-ins. Silver lining?

Put one of your mates in the trunk hands tied & stripped to the skivies. Have him (or her, no need to descriminate) pop out jackass style & book it down the road. Or use the Tommy Boy bees option with trunk guy

definately nags at me when the turbo kicks in at 3000 rpm in the CCCC.

are they parked in the usual traps?

FWIW, there was an officer perhaps around tunnel 2 and one below tunnel 1, but then again that was only 2 of the 4. Net net, one ticket is the price of a rope or 3-4 cams!

No more road soadies... Damn
No officer I'm not drinking and driving, I'm sippin' and cruisin!

Heat was on I-70 between Glenwood and GJ last few days too. Never seen so many HWY partol out on a Monday. I got harrassed by park rangers for pissing behind a tree in the middle of no where too, they told me I could be put on a sex offenders list for urinating in public, in the woods, WTF.

you can be put on the Sex Offenders list for Mooning someone too. That would be a lame way to ruin your life.

Leo thanks for the heads-up

the kitty-coffers needs some additional funding right now i'm sure..

I got a ticket in Arizona doing 21 in a 15 mile zone on Monday. Trying to drive 15 miles an hour is really tough. 118 bucks.

Oink oink

The cops are all over I70 and CCC this time of year. I think they want to set the precident for summer travel early.

Although I too tend to speed in CCC I have recently tried to slow down a bunch. I've been told by several people that the road from Golden to Black Hawk (through CCC) is the most dangerous road in the state. I'm guessing it probually isn't the climbers, but all drunks driving back from hours at the casinos. I suggest everyone drive very defensively through the canyon regardless of their speed.

People drive down those canyons like lunatics...

I got pulled over the other day in WY just west of the Voo going 78 in a 75???? They didn't give me a ticket, just warned me that there are moose on the highway. I told me "well good thing I'm driving a Volvo."

It's a good idea to check your tabs are still valid... Easy to forget if you move and the reminder they mail doesn't get forwarded to your new address.

it's times like this, i wish my speedometer still worked.....

Had a hard time speeding down canyon tonight, being that we were stuck in a line of traffic going 25mph...

Saw 2 cops going up canyon, and 4 coming out...

i set the speed control to 40 last night. and what a snoozer!!!
the techno just didnt feel the same. sigh....
