Don't Get Stuck With A Ticket: Colorado Cracks Down on Traction Law and Passenger Vehicle Chain Law
Winter driving conditions in Colorado are a serious force to be reckoned with. Semi-trucks aren’t the only vehicles accountable for the use of chains and proper tires on Colorado highways, anymore, and with good reason. As Mayor Michael Hancock wrote in regards to The Denver Vision Zero Action Plan, “Traffic deaths and severe injuries are unacceptable and preventable, and safety must be the most important consideration for every Denver street.” Passenger vehicle drivers like yourself are now responsible for knowing and complying with the Traction and Passenger Vehicle Chain Laws. Don’t worry though, we’re here to make sure you’re compliant, safe, and secure! Cars that are unable to properly grip the roads slow down traffic and slip easily on snow and ice. Did you know that you can be fined more than $130 if you don’t have the proper equipment on your vehicle and the Colorado Department of Transportation, or CDOT, issues an active Traction Law, also known as Code 15 ?
