CDOT Road Codes

[jimmnn]

Seems like a good day to post these.

Remember CDOT is still VHF 151.085 in many areas of the state like West of the Denver Metro area but DTRS talk groups elsewhere.

And when you hear dispatch asking there troopers for a 10-13, that's not road closed it's just a request for current condictions.

Yep the snow has started for real up that way hasn't it? I'll tell my Bro in Law to make sure he has all the chains and stuff ready.

Down here so far, all we got is lots of heavy rains, and twisters....
We always get the severe crap the worst when its November/December stuff.
