Evergreen, Colorado Speed Traps

At exit 254 the speed limit drops from 65 to 55. That is the beginning of a 6% downhill grade. The highway patrol regularly enforces this with teams of as many as four cars, some of which are unmarked. They often have a radar unit on the overpass at exit 256. If you pass one patrol car, don’t assume you are home free- there will be more. Jefferson County Sheriff also is also active in this area.
