Westbound on US 6 in Clear Creek Canyon. October 1999 Bizarre Distance Sign. Westbound US 6 at 19th Street, Golden.

The view on westbound US 6 as it's skirting the west side of Golden between Jefferson County Parkway and 19th Street. June 2003 Perry Street Narrows.

March 2005 Westbound on US 6. March 2007 The 6th Avenue Freeway. As viewed looking east from the Federal Boulevard overpass. October 1999 Federal Onramp/Bryant Offramp. Voted one of the worst weave sections in Denver by readers of the Rocky Mountain News, here someone from Federal (SH 88) getting onto eastbound 6th has to deal with no acceleration distance and traffic trying to get off at Bryant. Photo courtesy David Herrera. July 2003 I-25/Bryant/Federal C-D Road. Westbound 6th Avenue within the I-25 interchange where one exits to a C-D road system to get to Bryant or Federal (SH 88).

A marker assembly on westbound US 6 at SH 39/52 on the east side of Wiggins. This is within the I-76 Exit 66 interchange complex and these markers help traffic deal with the odd setup of the area, which includes an off-interchange rest area. May 2005 Atwood BNSF Train.

September 2009 Red Cliff Arch (Eagle River) Bridge. A cool picture of US 24's bridge over the Eagle River near Red Cliff. The plaque on the bridge says 1940. June 2002 Pando Bridge. Built in 1941, this bridge takes US 24 over the UPRR at the former Pando rail siding. Pando was located at the north end of Camp Hale and was the railroad service point for the camp. September 2009 Top of Tennessee Pass: Westbound • Old Marker • Newer Marker. The top of Tennessee Pass features a parking area and a memorial to the 10th Mountain Division with a granite slab with the names of soldiers killed in Europe and the Alaska Kiska campaign during WWII.

Looking west you see Mount Massive of the Sawatch Range and the Continental Divide. Looking east is the Mosquito Range. September 2006 Kobe Valley. Located about 5 miles north of SH 82, Kobe is a UPRR rail siding along the east side of US 24 as it heads through a broad Arkansas River valley. This view on westbound US 24 looks north toward a rainstorm that was probably near Turquiose Lake. September 2009 North of Buena Vista. A view of westbound US 24 as it goes through the Arkansas River canyon north of Buena Vista. October 2004 US 24-285 Split Signs South of Buena Vista, Sign 1 and Sign 2. These two shots show the signs on westbound US 24-285 approaching the split south of Buena Vista. The first sign is a little ways before the intersection, while the second one is nearer to it, and you can see the T-intersection itself. Both photos by Dale Sanderson. March 2008 Mount Princeton. The peak dominates the western horizon in this area, as seen on westbound US 24-285 a little east of Johnson Village. Photo by Dale Sanderson. March 2008 Curves Sharpen.

Overhead sign assembly on eastbound US 24 west of SH 94 at Peterson Air Force Base. September 2003 Black Squirrel Creek Truss Bridge. Westbound on US 24 at an old steel truss bridge over Black Squirrel Creek at milepost 327 west of Peyton. They don't build bridges like this anymore. May 2004 Ellicott Highway. The scenery westbound on US 24 near Ellicott Highway, east of Peyton. May 2004 West Limon Intersection, Eastbound. At the US 24/Spur 24 intersection in west Limon, on eastbound US 24. Note how I-70 and BL I-70 get the major treatment on the large sign while US 24, 40 & 287 are on smaller stand-alone signs up near the intersection. Photo by Dale Sanderson. December 2003 West Limon Intersection, Westbound. Same intersection, but on westbound US 24. Photo by Dale Sanderson. December 2003 Limon Multiplex: Older Markers • Newer Markers. Eastbound Main St. in central Limon. Five, count 'em, five shields through downtown. This is actually a "wrong-way" multiplex, because it is East BL 70, 24, and 40, South 287, and North 71. However, note in the second picture that CDOT cheats andby omitting the direction for SH 71 doesn't actually mark it as a wrong-way multiplex. First photo courtesy Robert Halonen (1998), second photo by me (April 2005). End West of Seibert. Westbound US 24 at CR 12 west of Seibert. To the left of the picture CR 12 has an overpass over I-70; no interchange, just a grade separation. This point marks the west end of state maintenance of the Seibert-Burlington section of US 24.

	North End, To 34/West BL 76. The first markers one sees on southbound Spur 34 south of I-76. May 2005 North End, West Spur 34. Immediately after the markers above appears this one. It features "SPUR" in tiny lettering and marks the spur as an east-west route like US 34, even though the spur itself is oriented north-south. May 2005 South End, BL 76/Spur 34. The markers on northbound Spur 34 just north of US 34. Again there is "SPUR" in tiny lettering. May 2005

October 2003 US 36 Curve, Adams-Arapahoe Line. Westbound US 36 approaching Byers. This is the curve where US 36 comes off the Adams-Arapahoe County line (which the road on the right is running on) to arc down to Byers. Photo by Dale Sanderson.

May 2008 Lincoln Avenue, Steamboat Springs. Looking northwest along US 40/Lincoln Ave. in downtown Steamboat Springs. May 2004 English/Metric Speed Limit Sign. Steamboat Springs' accommodation of international tourists resulted in this combination sign. It does sort of resemble European speed limit signs, but with an additional "km/h" below the digits. This sign bucks traditional practice by giving the limit in something other than a 10 km/h increment. May 2004 Copper Ridge. Westbound US 40 at High Point Drive in Steamboat Springs, looking out to the Copper Ridge north of town. May 2008 Rabbit Ears Pass, West Accent. Looking uphill as US 40 climbs the west side of Rabbit Ears Pass. May 2004 A good shot of the expansive view US 40 has on the west side of Rabbit Ears Pass.

Westbound on US 50 about 1 mile east of Salida where it breaks out of the Arkansas River canyon. September 2004 Arkansas River Bridge Demolition Before - During - After. According to Michael McMullen this bridge near Cañon City had the end of its truss hit after a truck driver fell asleep. It happened in very cold weather so there were brittle fractures in the truss. Since it wasn't certain where else there were fractures the bridge was demolished and replaced in a hurry. Photos courtesy Michael McMullen. Where the Deer and Pronghorn Play. Westbound US 50 east of Penrose is a fairly desolate stretch, with just grassy rangeland to look at. May 2009 Minimum Speed 55.

Pueblo	Five-Lane Undivided. This shot on eastbound BR 50 shows its five-lane undivided section east of Pueblo. May 2009 Saint Charles River Mismatched Bridges. Here BR 50 crosses the Saint Charles River west of Vineland on two separate bridges. Since the eastbound bridge is newer, it doesn't match the original through-truss used by the westbound road.

March 2007 BR 34-85 Reassurance Markers. Northound on BR 34-85 (8th Ave) approaching downtown Greeley. Here there is this reassurance marker assemply, but the markers have an odd shape, making me think it was done by the city and not CDOT. March 2007 8th Ave/18th St Turn.

July 2005 Truck Advisory Speeds. Because of the almost 7% grade down Wolf Creek Pass, CDOT has posted a sign with advisory speeds for trucks at the summit. But what's unusual about it is it lists 3 different weight classes and progressively slower speeds. July 2005 Snowshed. Here's a view on eastbound US 160 of the snowshed on the east side of Wolf Creek Pass. It provides protection for the highway at an avalanche chute. The snowshed is in a somewhat awkward place, right at a sharp 25mph curve, prompting lots of warning signs. July 2005 Tunnel and Old Road.

The tunnel bypasses a particularly narrow and windy section of the Pass Creek canyon, which can be seen going down the old road to the left. July 2005 Narrow Canyon Work.

Eastbound at the I-25 Exit 15 interchange, where US 160 turns east off the freeway. It continues ahead on Kit Carson Trail, but before that this ridiculously wide marker assembly lets you know what else is going on here at the intersection.
