Golden, RT6.

I'll be en route for the rollover until another RT can relieve me, or it gets cleared.
00:17
Okay, RT9 will be on his way.
00:23
Hi, Copy. What's RT9's current location?
00:32
I'm right across from the rollover, still continuing until you can relieve me.

We have a wrong-way driver on the highway; unsure if they're shutting down starting the parkway, but traffic is diverted everywhere.

301 R26, correct.
01:09
3.01.
01:11
Sorry.
01:12
I see you behind me.
01:14
Are you allowed to be escorted by an R2 down the shoulder? Are you still not allowed to go down the shoulder?
01:23
Looks like Thornton's shutting off the ramp to come south by 925.
01:30
We'll save that for another day then.
01:42
Holden Paul 303.

304, Golden?
02:41
304. We're diverting all traffic off at 84th Avenue.
02:46
Copy that.
02:48
They will be diverting traffic on the parkways; motorcycle cops just arrived and are shutting it down.

Is 518 King and 518 Mary available to come out since we have four lanes closed at this time on traffic 5?
03:31
Golden, our 26 on traffic one.
03:38

03:39
Yes.
03:40
Is 518 King and 518 Mary available to come out since we've got four lanes closed currently?
03:48
We'll check there, one moment.
03:55
518 changing.

Yes.
04:06
Ma'am, the R2 unit was asking for assistance.
04:09
What direction is that on I-12?
04:15
Yes, ma'am.
04:21
On the shoulder right at the 84th exit.
04:26
Copy, which R2 unit do I need to talk to?
04:31
RT 6. He wants me.
04:37
RT6, sir.
04:41
So, RT6 for the 518 truck that's talking to you: if he can take the express lane when he gets here,
04:49
I'll have Paul 301 take lane number one,
04:53
and the next truck with an airport can take lane number two.
