US-40 over Rabbit Ears Pass uses W-beam guardrail as its primary barrier system on a two-lane mountain highway where median barrier is not applicable, and where roadside barrier must survive both vehicle impacts and repeated contact from snowplow equipment during the five-month winter. CDOT Region 3 manages this corridor from the Steamboat Springs maintenance facility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rabbit Ears Pass receives 400+ inches of annual snowfall and requires daily plowing from October through April. Snowplow wing blades travel close to guardrail faces and regularly contact rail panels and posts. CDOT Region 3 designs US-40 guardrail setbacks to maximize the clearance between the plow travel path and the rail face wherever right-of-way permits.

Impact attenuators are placed at US-40 intersection approach islands and at exposed culvert headwalls where CDOT's warrant analysis identifies high-risk fixed object exposures. CDOT Region 3 determines attenuator placement through safety studies. We install MASH-compliant attenuator systems at these locations under Region 3 contracts.

Trail Ridge Road (US-34) inside Rocky Mountain National Park is managed by the National Park Service, which specifies aesthetic barrier systems distinct from CDOT standard plans. Outside the park boundary, US-34 through Estes Park and Loveland uses CDOT-standard W-beam and cable barrier maintained by CDOT Region 4.
