Broomfield adopts 2024 Model Traffic Code with local clarifications
Summary
Council voted 10–0 to adopt the 2024 Model Traffic Code for Colorado, adopting local clarifications to parking near intersections and adding enforcement clarifications for specific driving offenses.
The Broomfield City and County Council adopted ordinance 22‑97 on second and final reading to amend Chapter 10 (Vehicles and Traffic) of the municipal code and adopt the 2024 Model Traffic Code for Colorado.
Traffic engineer Bryce Hammerton summarized the second‑reading presentation, noting the code would make the city’s traffic regulations more consistent with state practice and included recommended local amendments — for example, a restriction on parking within 30 feet of intersections or crosswalks and removal of compulsory insurance language. The changes also clarified enforcement options for unlicensed operation, driving under restraint and hit‑and‑run scenarios.
No public comment was offered during the hearing, and council approved the ordinance on second and final reading, 10–0.
Next steps: the ordinance will be published as required and implemented through the city’s traffic enforcement and permitting processes.
