Denver is a large metropolitan city with lots of people commuting each day for work. There is often a lot of traffic during peak times of the day from 7 am to 10 am and from 3 pm to 6 pm. However, depending on where you live, public transportation is very accessible.
Leave early: Give yourself thirty minutes of additional time to make it to your destination, especially when the weather is bad.
Avoid busy areas: Plan your route ahead of time to avoid the most congested streets and highways. Substitute the I-25 and I-70 for I-76 or I-270. The E470 is another option if you’re willing to pay the toll to save yourself valuable time.
Prepare your car for snow: Use snow tires, all-season tires, or snow chains when required for safe travel. Keep an ice scraper packed in the trunk for those frosty winter days. Consider taking public transportation if you are not comfortable driving in the snow.
