I ran across this on the S2kca forums (thanks Nugget!), and I wanted to pass this on to anyone planning on taking advantage of this weekend's great weather.

I was on I-25 this morning, and I can vouch for it's accuracy - I've never seen so many cops on the highway in my life.

These APT = Accident Prevention Team, placements used to run for 5 to 7 days. I don't know if this one will or not, but be alert for the next few days in this section of Denver.

Good point, from what people said in our s2k group during a drive was that it was pretty bad today as well. I stayed off that highway. ;)
