    The "correct" way is expensive and takes time...thus, we get tar snakes and, if we're lucky, that idiotic sign...

    Ironically, here is CDOT's mission and vision:

    I recommend contacting their Safety and Engineering Division - and wonder if it makes sense for us to contact them as a group or as individuals:

    Silly girl, motorcyclists aren't people!

    That warning sign "eliminates" legal and moral liability. How dare you wreck when we were curt enough to erect a sign washing our hands of your problem? You should have known better.
