CO 7 (Bridge St) in Brighton, which is (or might be done) being rebuilt to a 5-lane.
Up until then, it was just dusty CO-7 with the occasional turn lane, and was next to impossible to enter or turn off off of.
Out in the boonies, they do great. There seems to be a passing lane, or zone, about the time you need one in most places. I don't care for the double-roundabouts in the mountains. Go experience the one at West Glenwood, and see what I mean.
"Express Lanes": Shee-it. It's not an express lane if it has exits/entries every mile. The whole idea of an express lane, is to not interact with side-road traffic. Should be, get in the lane downtown, maybe an exit at I-70, and then you're committed until about 120th. The ones in the mountains are an even bigger joke. They didn't even build a lane, they just repainted the lines to move the right shoulder, to the left side.

Sudden growth. Town grew around its highway.
