Those who have traveled to Boulder before know that after leaving downtown Superior, U.S. 36 crests into a hill. Drivers are then greeted by the stunning view of the Flatirons and the Boulder city limits below before descending the steep hill. The speed down the interstate is 60 mph, but some drivers are caught flying down the two-lane road.
Boulder police said the driver received 12 points on their license for speeding. The driver was also cited for careless driving, which is four points.
