Driving on a Colorado highway in a 2WD vehicle during a storm? Traction law now requires chains or other devices.

During storms, CDOT officials can declare the traction law “activated” on any state highway. Along the I-70 mountain corridor through Dotsero, the law remains in effect September through May.
