The Colorado Department of Transportation’s Express Lane Safety and Toll Enforcement Program is active on all tolled Colorado Express Lanes. This program uses sophisticated roadway cameras and sensors to identify drivers violating the Express Lane rules. The program and all Express Lane rules are in place to keep drivers safe and data shows it is working! In the past two years, rule violations on the Express Lane corridors have decreased by 90%!

What Express Lane rules are being enforced?

There are a few differences in which rules are enforced where, however, one rule applies to all tolled Colorado Express Lanes: No weaving.

• Cross the line, pay the fine: It is illegal to cross the solid line to enter or exit the Express Lanes. Enter and exit through the dashed lines at designated points only.

In addition to weaving, drivers on the I-70: Idaho Springs to Empire Express Lanes will receive a civil penalty for driving in the lane with an oversized vehicle (more than two axles, 25 feet or longer, or trailers) or driving in the Express Lanes when they are closed.

Caught Violating?

Violators will receive a $75 civil penalty via mail based on the registered address of the vehicle’s license plate. If not paid within 20 days, this $75 fine will jump up to $150.

Avoid a fine and keep yourself and others safe while driving through Colorado by following the Express Lane rules!
