Traffic Stop/Educational

A large portion of the UHP’s activities involve enforcing Utah’s traffic laws. Traffic safety hinges on the behavior or roadway users. Troopers often find that a sincere conversation, with a first person educational element, can help promote voluntary compliance with the law.


Data and information will be updated as often as possible.
