South Jordan, Utah Speed Traps
2200 West Street near 9800 South to 10400 South
This is a street next to a high school. It is a well defined collector street that was previously posted at 35 MPH. The speed limit has been dropped to 25 MPH to accomodate the high school and foot traffic to an elementary even though sidewalks are available. It is heavily enfored especially around the start and end of the high school day. It amounts to an illegal school zone under Utah law.

9800 South Street
The street is a main east/west street and in areas where there are no houses fronting the road and sometimes no houses at all, the speed is 30. The problem also, the speed changes back and forth between 30, 35 and 25 every few miles. You don’t expect the speed changes so close to each other and the logic of the changes are…..illogical! I guess extra revenue is needed in South Jordan.

West 5th Street near 10200 South Street
This is a five lane road in an industrial area. The area at 10200 South is a straight section that begs you to go faster than the posted 35 mph.

10400 South Road near LDS Church at 1500 West
Cop sits in parking lot of LDS Church at 1500 West. Easy pickin’s on road with unrealistic speed limit of 35 MPH
Shields Road near I-15 To Bangerter
Lots and lots of speed traps all along 98th South. I am sure that it has nothing to do with the expensive houses that are built along that road. Nice to see what money can buy.
