Traffic Rant Denver is a one lane town

[ray1970]

I’m typically getting paid while I’m commuting so that probably helps reduce my stress levels. It’s kind of like the worse traffic is the longer it takes me and the more money I make.

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...

Yes we have. Rant away, I went take it personally.

But a lot of time and money is wasted on required federal studies and policies.

DBE requirement, on the job training, environmental studies, excessive tracking, the entire FHWA. Transit transfers, ect..

Ya just cant beat "government efficiency"...

I'm doing 55 miles one way on I25 in under 50 minutes. But then again I'm 200 miles south of denver.

In Dallas, the toll roads now have toll lanes... (double tolls for Lexus lane on a toll road)

It isn't any better than Denver, and construction takes decades.

I'd say stop the toll road idea while you can.... but the realist in me says it's already been decided, so bohica

No worries, I go to the metrocity less than once a month... I'm blessed to work from home and only go into the office on rare occasions.

My dad was in USMC and retired here in 1977 , No to answer your question

I was just curious. I feel like Denver has gotten very bad for traffic, yet I still hear about places that people say are worse. I've never experienced worse, but that's due to my limited travel.
