The Park City Police Department last week and early this week continued to pull over vehicles at a brisk pace, as patrols netted numerous drivers for a variety of offenses.

There were strings of traffic stops in disparate locations at various points. Some of the cases involved suspected speeding while other traffic stops were based on what the police described as an array of other offenses.

Police officers regularly conduct traffic patrols and the agency has a traffic team that focuses on the roads. The cases this year follow a year after a sharp increase in the 2022 numbers.

Park City residents have long been worried about speeding and other traffic-related issues, and the Police Department’s efforts are seen as a response to the community concerns. The wider municipal government has also taken steps over time to address speeding and other traffic-related issues. The concerns stretch from the entryways to neighborhood streets, and the police patrols occur across the community

At certain times last week and early this week, the police reported strings of cases that were exclusively related to traffic. On Sunday, June 4, as an example, each case reported on public police logs between 4:01 p.m. and 9:42 p.m. dealt with some sort of traffic issue.

The logs in many cases did not provide details about whether the officers issued a warning or a ticket.

Some of the cases included:
