Cordillera Road Safety Policy

Road Safety Rules & Violations Policy

The Cordillera Road Safety Rules & Violations Policy was developed in collaboration by the Cordillera Metro District (CMD) Board and the Cordillera Valley Club Metro District (CVC) Board. This joint effort seeks to maintain order, safety, and harmony in our communities by enforcing road safety rules and providing clear consequences for violations using the resources we have available.

The consequences for violations listed in the Cordillera Road Safety Rules & Violations Policy below range from notification and warning of a violation to loss of homeowner lane gate access for a specified time period. Community members who have homeowner lane access privileges revoked will be required to use the guest lane. Within the Cordillera Valley Club, those who have had homeowner lane access revoked will be required to enter the CVC east gate only. The CVC west gate may be used for exit, but it cannot be used for entry.

To report a road safety issue or incident that occurred within CMD or CVC, please use the Road Safety Incident Reporting Form below or email roadsafety@cordillerametro.org.

    Cordillera Road Safety Rules and Violations Policy

    Introduction and Purpose

    The Cordillera Metro District (CMD) and Cordillera Valley Club Metro District (CVC) are experiencing ongoing violations of standards that threaten our community’s safety and security including violations of CMD’s Rules of the Road, Snow Plowing Rules and Regulations, and other road safety policies. Incidences of reckless driving–speeding, illegal passing, swerving into pedestrian and bicycle lanes, collisions, aggressive overtaking of snowplows, and intentional destruction of traffic barriers–are frequent. We have also experienced other types of behavior on our roads that is not in accordance with our community standards.

    While most residents are law-abiding citizens, a few are causing significant issues that need to be addressed. At times, it is necessary to involve the Eagle County Sheriff’s Office, but often our organizations are the only source of enforcement for the standards within our community.

    This policy aims to maintain order, safety, and harmony by enforcing road safety rules and providing clear consequences for violations using the resources we have available.

    Authority and Jurisdiction

    The Cordillera Metro District (CMD) and Cordillera Valley Club Metro District (CVC) are responsible for enforcing this policy, which applies to all property owners, residents, and staff within this community.

    Violations and Penalties

    CMD and CVC management, along with Public Safety management, will determine the nature of the violation. All violations will be recorded with the date of their occurrence, and penalties will be assessed based on the number of violations accrued within a 12-month period. Community members who have Homeowner Lane access privileges revoked will be required to use the Guest Lane. Within the Cordillera Valley Club, those who have had Homeowner Lane access revoked will be required to enter the CVC east gate Guest Lane only. The CVC west gate may be used for exit, but it cannot be used for entry.
