It is illegal to drive a black car on Sundays in Denver
There are many bizarre outdated traffic laws in the U.S., and this is one of them: it is illegal to show up on Colorado capital’s roads on Sundays, driving a black car! This restriction is definitely not enforced these days, but it is good to keep it in mind!

Automotive Denver at a glance
Denver is the capital, and the most populous city of Colorado, with more than 715,000 inhabitants, according to the 2020 Census. Denver’s nickname is the Mile High City. It got it due to the official elevation being exactly one mile (5.280 feet) above sea level! There’s not much happening here in terms of car manufacturing today, but in 1914 a Ford assembly plant at 920 South Broadway Boulevard started producing Model T, and did so until 1933.
Denver Auto Show
The automotive life in the capital of Colorado is centered around the famous Denver Auto Show, which now is held outdoors in Denver’s favorite amusement park, Elritch Gardens. Denver Colorado car and truck show is a premier showcase of both imported and US-made cars, vans, SUVs, hybrids, EVs, and light trucks. You can shop for tires online at Utires.com, to find new and used SUV, light truck, and passenger tires, and enjoy our free FedEx delivery service right to your Denver home or office!
Denver topography
The Mile High City is sandwiched between the Rockies to the west and the High Plains to the east. The terrain is made up of plains in the city center, and the hilly areas from south, north, and west. For confident driving in these diverse conditions, buy all-season tires online at Utires.com, with daily best tire deals on 60,000+ inventory!
Denver roads
The city’s layout is grid-based. Denver is served by two Interstates, I-25, and I-70. The intersection of them is locally known as "the mousetrap": when viewed from the air, the junction with all the vehicles looks like a large trap full of mice and is best avoided, if possible.

What tires do you need for Denver weather?
Being one of the sunniest places in the United States, Denver is still known for its extreme weather. Heavy rains, big snowfalls, storms — all of these conditions are familiar to the Denverites and the guests of the beautiful Mile High City. To drive comfortably and safely in any weather, shop tires by season or by the tire type on our website and enjoy a free FedEx Home delivery service right to your door in Denver!
Warm-season
Denver boasts 300 sunny days a year, being one of the sunniest cities in the whole of the U.S. But, when it rains here, it really does. Most of the precipitation occurs from April through August. Extreme conditions and sudden weather changes are common, because of Denver’s inland location on the High Plains, at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. No wonder Denverites prefer to drive on trailerall season tires for most of the year.
Cold season
Winters have periods of snow and cold interrupted with warming, caused by Chinook winds. Snow falls throughout the late autumn, winter, and early spring, with April and March being the months with the most snowfall. Studdable tires are legal in Colorado, and so are tire chains, which are compulsory during the Chain Law. To feel confident during the snowy conditions, shop for new and used winter, snow, and studdable tires online at Utires.com.

Live traffic report
The Denver traffic is reported to be the 25th worst in the U.S., due to population growth, and lack of public transportation. Watch out for those traffic jams in the metro area peaking between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. and between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., add an hour on each side for the peak times. It is recommended to stir free of The Mousetrap (the intersection of I70 and I25). For live traffic conditions in Denver, follow these links:
With 300 sunny days annually, July is the warmest month in Denver with temperatures rising above 90° F. December is the coldest month of the year with temperatures dropping below 46 °F.

Texting while driving is banned unless you are trying to reach emergency services
All forms of mobile phone use are prohibited for drivers under 18 years old (unless calling emergency services)
The 3-second rule: leave that much distance between your vehicle and the one in front

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data proves that in 2018 Colorado ranked as the second deadliest state per capita for road rage incidents. According to numerous reports by the Denver residents, and Mile High City’s visitors, the trend continues. The Colorado State Patrol (CSP) gets roughly 80,000 road rage calls annually.
Heavy traffic and congestion are definitely contributing factors here, but keeping your calm is advisable. Don’t engage raging drivers, don’t establish eye contact, mind your own business and you’ll be fine.
Fast and furious
The highways’ speed limit here is extra 5 miles per hour for the slow lane, 10 for the center lane, and fast lane anything between 15 and 20 miles per hour. Speeding is common, pay extra attention to those rare view mirrors.
Running the traffic light
The yellow light here is often taken as green, so don’t be surprised by fellow drivers not even braking for the yellow light. What’s more disturbing is the proverbial 3 cars limit to run the red light. Watch out for speeding drivers at the traffic lights, and you’ll be all right.

Parking rules
Smart Meters in Denver really make life easier. No need for coins, they are electronic meters powered by solar energy and can accept the payment in the form that’s best for you. Pulse, since 2021, the City of Denver started accepting meter payments by phone, just install a “PayByPhone” app, and you are good to go. Of course, other forms of payment are still accepted, so coins, debit/credit bank cards, and Smart Card will do.
27% of the VLT rule applies both to sedans and SUVs’ front, back, and rear windows. The windshield tint level for these vehicle categories is set at 70% of VLT, it has to be non-reflective, and can only be applied to the top 4 inches of the windshield.
Both front and backside windows tint cannot have mirrored, or metallic appearance, and there are no medical exemptions for special tint. Find out everything you want to know about tinting trends and make the right choice for your ride!
The good news: if the front side windows and windshield tinting is 70% VLT or more than windows to the back of the driver (rear window and back side windows) can have any degree of tint applied, so go for it!.
Riders under the age of 18 are required to wear DOT-approved helmets in Denver, but drivers over 18 years old don’t have to wear them. We recommend using helmets at all times, helmets save lives!
They can also protect your eyes, and your wallet, because some eye protection is legally required for both motorcycle passengers and drivers. The best eye protection is from a visor on a helmet. Goggles and eyeglasses with lenses made from safety glass or plastic are second best. Having a windshield on your bike does not constitute adequate eye protection in Denver.
To solve the problem of traffic congestion, help the commuters reach their destinations in a predictable manner, and save everyone’s time, the Express Lanes and tollways have been built in Denver.
The best way to use them is to get an ExpressToll account, and a pass, to save money on the tolls. Getting the Switchable HOV Transponder allows you to carpool, and save even more. Not paying your tolls may result in fines up to $250.
The Express Lanes
I-25 Express Lanes are two reversible lanes on I-25 between Speer and US 36, and US 36 and 120th Avenue in Downtown Denver, they are open during peak travel times, with southbound travel open from 5 a.m. to 11 a.m., and Northbound travel is open from the noon to 3 a.m.
US-36 Express Lanes connect Boulder to Denver at I-25, from Federal Boulevard in Westminster to Table Mesa Drive in Boulder
C-470 Express Lanes run 12.5 miles along C-470 between I-25 and Wadsworth Boulevard
E-470 is 47 miles long road that serves the Denver International Airport and provides a bypass for the eastern portion of the Denver-Aurora Metropolitan Area
Northwest Parkway, a 9-mile road running from the intersection of I-25 and E-470 to US 36
This is your ideal choice for a late afternoon drive near Denver. The drive is approximately 22 miles long and takes about 1 hour. On the way, you’ll be passing one of the famous 14’ers, Mount Bierstadt, and Georgetown, a typical old farmer mining town.
Peak to Peak scenic byway
Take the Peak to Peak scenic for 55 miles long ride alongside the Continental Divide. Drive through the Rocky Mountain National Park and the Golden Gate Canyon State Park. Keep your eyes peeled for the wildlife sightings!
Lariat Loop
The Lariat Loop is 40 miles long, passing through the towns of Golden, Morrison, Idledale, Kittredge, Evergreen, and some of the state parks. The Buffalo Bill’s Museum and Grave are some of the historical attractions there. The world-famous Dinosaur Ridge is a famous dinosaur fossils location along the way.

Their softer compound sticks to the cold road, and the tread pattern allows them to cruise safely even through the harshest of snowstorms. Get winter tires with significant discounts on our website. We guarantee a thorough 2-stage inspection of our used tires and a hassle-free return policy. Plus free shipping with every order!
