Drivers attempting to catch a glimpse of Colorado's vibrant fall foliage have been parking illegally on mountain roads, creating hours-long traffic jams and hazardous driving conditions. Residents, law enforcement, and even the leaf-peeping visitors themselves are frustrated by the chaos.
Drivers parked illegally on mountain roads trying to glimpse Colorado ’s changing leaves this month have caused hours of backed-up traffic and poor driving conditions, frustrating everyone from mountain residents and law enforcement to the leaf-peeping visitors themselves.
In the video’s caption, Von Sonnenschein called out drivers for being “a buncha ding dongs on the road.” “If you want to save three hours of your life waiting in traffic, avoid visiting Guanella Pass this weekend,”Sunday on Facebook. “Several areas of the road are gridlocked because of people parking half on the narrow roadway, making a few sections into one-lane roads for the two-way traffic. Colors looked great, though.”
Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Jenny Fulton said the sheriff’s office is responsible for traffic enforcement on both Guenalla Pass and Highway 103 — another popular leaf-peeping destination — but how often deputies can patrol the areas depends on other calls.
