Due to Governor Scott Mathe-son- s request for increased enforcement of the 55 mph speed limit, the Utah Highway Patrol and the Department of Public Safety will offer a community radar speed check to assist the motoring public and encourage compliance with our speed and traffic laws. Two speed checks will be held in this area on May 11 and 13 in an effort to assist motorists in determining the accuracy of their speedometers. One speed check will be held on the Old Highway between Nephi and Mona from noon to 2 p.m. The other will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the frontage road west of the freeway between the two Springville interchanges. It is known that speedometers can read inaccurately due to mechanical error, changing tire sizes, or even in new vehicles. It is hoped that by offering this program, the Utah Highway Patrol will be able to encourage voluntary compliance with the traffic laws in the State of Utah. We encourage all motorists to partake of this free radar speed check program. |
