Speed Limits Enforced in CO?

How strictly enforced are the speed limits in Colorado? Specificly in Denver, Boulder and Fort Collins areas?

I'll be visiting soon and I know each area is different. For example in most of CA you can go 5 to 10 mph over without getting a ticket, but in South Carolina you can't go over the limit at all or you get ticketed.

    It depends on the area and road ie freeway, rural road, city street, but it seems to me that they are more strict than we are in CA. I would play it safe and stay within 5 mph of the speed limit.

    Enforced pretty good when officer's get some down time. Visited the same areas in the past and on my honeymoon. Seen some neat stuff including when I got home with my picture turning on a no turn red light.

    Boulder loves cameras and the fines that go with them! I agree if you do not want to worry about it do not violate the law. I got busted and they showed no mercy. I admit I was in the wrong but those fancy tall buildings and the Mountain back drop were just to much for nosy me :D.

    The marketing campaign team suggested has, in my opinion, an exceedingly concentrated and biased view in this and the MP very trusting. i might like staring on the stats. The pre spin ones. velocity isn't the biggest reason of injuries yet it fairly is dealt with out of all share with the appliance of digicam's. Even to the detriment of alternative motives. It does pick looking after, that is going without asserting yet different reason deserve interest and a few with extra interest. digicam's address in ordinary terms one area of the regulation. the numerous different motives are skipped over. as an occasion, 25 in a 30 in college ending time ought to be too quickly. no longer staring at junctions. Too quickly for the situations even no count if it fairly is decrease than the published limits. there's a protracted record.

    Why don't you just do the speed limit? That way you don't have to worry about it.
