Traffic Rant Denver is a one lane town

[longrange2]

Denver has done a good job of turning real traffic lanes into bike lanes, on purpose, to make driving so painful people will take mass transit.

I have to drive on 225, 70 and 36 to and from work, it can take anywhere between 45 minutes and 2 hours

I took I-76 to I-80 to get to work tomorrow.

You're going to be late. You should have left yesterday.

I know it’s a bitch thread but the logistics of massive revamping of insert the name of major transport routes due to massive a influx of humans is not a weeknight drawing on a cocktail napkin.
the state has been planning these various expansions since w’s first term easily. My favorite is i270 from 70 to 25 slated to remove clover leaf merge system mid 2025 at the earliest

You really got to love a speed traps after the construction zones when everybody thinks its Daytona 500 and they just dropped the green flag lol.

and they scratch their heads wonder why there's so much road rage !! really ?

I270 would be my favorite highway if it wasn't clogged all the time. I-225 is way better than it used to be for sure.

I get pissed if I have to go east of Sheridan.

True, but thus far CDOT has done a truly terrible job of trying to keep up, to the point of saying that "denver traffic is no worse than other metropolitan areas, so we don't need to change anything"...

I won't expound on it any further, because I know we have guys on here that work for CDOT...

I was ranting the same yesterday. The main routes are effed up, as are your primary alternates. It sucks.

[Hummer]

Maybe if they make all the highways into high-priced toll roads and Lexus lanes, traffic would ease up for everyone (except those who actually have to be at work).
