Project Background

UDOT conducted a project to improve the 4800 South/2700 West intersection in Roy, including building a new traffic signal to control traffic movements through the intersection. This project permanently eliminated the left-turn movement from westbound 4800 South onto southbound 2700 West. Westbound drivers on 4800 South wishing to turn onto southbound 2700 West now have to continue west through the intersection to the roundabout at 2900 West, make a full circle to end up eastbound on 4800 South, and then make the right-hand turn onto 2700 West. Signing and striping at the intersection, and related to the adjacent railroad tracks, were also improved. 

The decision to eliminate the left-turn outlined above was made by Roy City, in an effort to improve safety at the railroad crossing and decrease traffic back-ups in the area.
