CDOT can put a traction law or a chain law on any state highway when weather requires it. Signs, COtrip.org, and alerts tell drivers. From Morrison to Dotsero on I-70, between 1 September and 31 May, the passenger traction law can be enforced. A passenger vehicle then needs 3/16 inch tread rated all-weather or winter (mountain-snowflake, M+S, or M/S), or chains, or an approved alternative. In a severe storm the chain law is the last step before a closure, and every vehicle needs chains or an approved alternative. A loaded car carrier is not a passenger car. Ask what the carrier does when I-70 is under a chain law.
