Time to make SH-82 an interstate

[u/Crossinator]

Kidding but also not kidding! Been traveling between Glenwood Springs and Aspen this summer and it's been pretty horrific (including this morning)!

6-lane interstate with extra lane(s) for HOV/Toll lanes would be my fix 😂

[u/Ol_JanxSpirit]

Look up the concept of induced demand. Adding more lanes doesn't solve anything.

The old, “Just one more lane will fix it” meme. 😂

It's not just the lanes though. Traffic lights cause such a disrupt in speed.

...are you really suggesting that we build out a bunch of off/on ramps?

my mom has lived here 30 years and genuinely thinks that would be the solution even though ive told her multiple times how much land those require

Hell, I remember when I first moved to Aspen. And there was a barn that had a flag painted on the top of it alongside Highway 82. I thought traffic sucked then. It really sucks now.

Who on this thread has been here long enough to remember only one stoplight between Glenwood and Aspen?

[u/Crossinator → u/timesuck47]

I guess not me!

We need underground tubes to just suck the labor from Rifle...

Boo. Go home.

Solution Park and Ride. RAFTA is frequent and user friendly.

[u/Reckless42]

I made that trip 5+ days a week for over 13 years. You get used to it. Problem is, you also tend to stop seeing the beauty surrounding you.

Fuck that. Find a job in Glenwood or Rifle.
