Front Range, Rockies and plains

Two Interstates Carry Most of Colorado

I-25 is the state's main north-south road. It links Pueblo, Colorado Springs, Denver and Fort Collins, and runs on to Wyoming and New Mexico. I-70 is the main east-west road. West of Denver it climbs into the Rockies and passes through the Eisenhower Tunnel, which at 11,158 feet is the highest point on the Interstate system. Then it crosses Vail Pass and runs through Glenwood Canyon toward Grand Junction and Utah. East of Denver, I-70 heads out across the Great Plains to Kansas. Many smaller towns connect to all of this only by county roads.

That spread means very different breakdowns. A battery that dies overnight at a trailhead lot. A car that can't hold an icy grade. A flat tire on a quiet stretch between plains towns. We send a partner for a winch-out, a jump or a tow, and your price is set by text before they roll. Have these ready when you call:

The highway and your direction, like eastbound I-70 or northbound I-25
The last exit number or mile marker you passed
Whether you're on the shoulder, in a parking lot or off the road
What went wrong: won't start, flat, stuck, or can't be driven

Colorado law

Passing a Stopped Tow Truck in Colorado

C.R.S. 42-4-705(2) covers a towing carrier showing flashing yellow lights, and it also covers any stationary vehicle giving a hazard signal. On a highway with more than one lane your way, passing drivers must move at least one lane over when it's safe. Otherwise they must slow to a safe speed. The law presumes that means 25 mph or less where the limit is under 45, and 20 mph under the limit where it's 45 or higher. The text is in the Colorado Revised Statutes, Title 42.

Traction Law and Chain Law days

During winter storms, CDOT can put a Traction Law in place on any state highway, posted on road signs and on COtrip. You then need an all-wheel or four-wheel drive vehicle with mud and snow, winter or all-weather rated tires and at least 3/16 inch of tread, or chains or an approved traction device. The Chain Law is the final step before a highway closes.

Colorado Questions

My car can't make it up an icy grade. Can you help?

If a partner can safely reach you, yes. A winch-out or a short tow to a safe spot is often the fix. If the highway is closed, we'll tell you that on the call and help you from where you are.
