The Park City Police Department in early April continued to heavily patrol streets in various locations, stopping numerous drivers for suspected violations that included failing to stop at stop signs.

The police have long patrolled streets in neighborhoods as well as on the entryways, and traffic stops have been mounting for months. Speeding and other moving violations for years have been one of the chief law enforcement-related complaints of Parkites.

There appeared to be several concentrated traffic patrols in earlier this month. One of them occurred in Park Meadows during the afternoon and early evening on April 11. The police stopped six drivers in a 51-minute period starting at 4:20 p.m.

Public police logs indicated an officer was “monitoring” stop signs at the Meadows Drive-Fairway Village Drive intersection when the motorists were pulled over. At least five of the drivers were on Meadows Drive at the time the officer observed them.

The logs did not provide details about any enforcement action. It is believed the police typically issue warnings to drivers unless a violation is deemed to be egregious or the person is a repeat offender.

There was also a concentration of traffic stops on April 9 at the intersection of Monitor Drive and Lucky John Drive. The police that evening were monitoring the intersection for drivers failing to obey stop signs.

Some of the other traffic-related cases recently reported by the Police Department included:
