Jay Hamburger THE PARK RECORD

The Park City Police Department last week stopped drivers clocked at well above the posted speed limit, part of the department’s long-running efforts to combat speeding drivers and other violators.

One of the cases, on Saturday, May 23 at 1:43 p.m., involved a driver pulled over at 74 mph in a 55 mph zone along S.R. 224, the police said.

The day before, Friday, May 22, a driver was stopped on the 1100 block of Deer Valley Drive. The police said the vehicle was clocked at 76 mph in a 55 mph zone along the S.R. 224 entryway.

Also on May 22, at 6:54 p.m., a driver was stopped on the 1700 block of Park Avenue after an officer clocked the vehicle at 50 mph on a section of road, apparently on Kearns Boulevard, where the speed limit is 35 mph. The driver indicated they were late for a movie, the police said.

The Police Department last week also logged a series of suspected drunken driving cases. They included:

  • on Saturday, May 23 at 9:47 p.m., a suspected drunken driving case was logged on the 500 block of Deer Valley Drive. Public police logs did not provide details.
  • on May 23, a suspected drunken driving case was reported at 12:23 a.m. in the Rossi Hill neighborhood, which is off Deer Valley Drive.
  • on Friday, May 22, a police officer assisted the Utah Highway Patrol with a traffic stop involving a suspected drunken driver on Park Avenue. The officer helped a passenger get a taxi, the police said.
