Horrible app - previous version at least worked

I feel like they hired a development team that put features in because they could, not because they were needed or even wanted. I don’t get on this app to use as a GPS so it’s pointless to force me to say where I am going. It’s also completely pointless to start out with an overview of the entire country since it only works in Utah and specifically primarily across the Wasatch front. The thin colored lines are very difficult to see between green, yellow and red. They are so thin compared to the previous app version that it’s essentially unusable. The splash screen is completely unneeded. When you start this app you want to get a very quick picture of the Wasatch front and where the issues are. There’s no other reason for using this app so anything else is just a distraction. this app is a classic example of allowing developers to put in features that they themselves wouldn’t use on a day-to-day basis. How this even got past internal testing is beyond me.

What a Piece of Junk

The previous version was OK but this one is terrible. Without knowing how the incidents get placed on the map, I can only say PUT THEM ON. More than half of the time when I come across a crash, it’s not even on the map. I drive I-15 from Ogden to Spanish Fork twice a week and Ogden to Salt Lake every day. I see a lot of crashes and as I said, they aren’t even on the map. That’s if you can even see them on this new interface. Have you tried to play an incident alert. Maybe it’s just a setting on my phone, but it plays at a speed that I can’t even begin to understand(too fast). I don’t see any responses by the developer to these comments, so I have no idea if anyone is even reading them. I read a previous comment that said to make this so a kindergartner could use it. Most people use it while driving and this piece of garbage makes that even more dangerous than ever. Hopefully someone reads this comment.

“App in need of a complete facelift”

This app is outdated and is in need of a transformation. With more drivers and an increase in accidents statewide, having a reliable, consistent, updated information system including cameras is paramount. (App and mobile website collectively). I would argue that some accidents may potentially be avoided with an accurate UDOT system in place; helping to promote more informed citizens who can better plan ahead and make strategic travel plans. Including, forgoing travel. Likewise, it would encourage and positively reinforce more carpooling and “wise” travel. I am sure that is why this app was created in the first place. Please, prioritize and update the system. *Publicly promoting and educating on the updated app/website would be wise too, once you get it up to par. —>In the meantime, this app is of no use or value and the same goes for the online website. The ease of use and use on a mobile device is mutually exclusive.

How to use the Salt Lake City Traffic Map Traffic flow lines : Red/White dashed lines = Closed Road, Grey/White dashed lines = Road Work, Red lines = Heavy traffic flow, Yellow/Orange lines = Medium flow and Green = normal traffic. Black lines or No traffic flow lines could indicate a closed road, but in most cases it means that either there is not enough vehicle flow to register or traffic isn't monitored. Also, If you do not see traffic flow, you can zoom in closer to reveal localized data. If you are unable to pan the map, press here (to focus off of the map) and try again. Traffic Incidents (beta) : Each image represents traffic event or incident such as road construction, closure (red circle with a white dash) or accident.

UDOT suspending project construction this weekend to aid air show traffic

By carter williams, ksl.com | posted - june 27, 2024 at 7:00 p.m., southbound traffic is pictured on memorial day weekend on i-15 in salt lake city on may 24. utah transportation officials say they will suspend work to construct a new i-15 interchange at 5600 south in roy this weekend for anticipated air show traffic. (megan nielsen, deseret news).

Estimated read time: 2-3 minutes

ROY — Utah transportation officials say they will suspend work on a new I-15 interchange at 5600 South in Roy this weekend to help accommodate projected travel for Hill Air Force Base's Warriors Over the Wasatch air show, but they say drivers should be prepared to deal with delays.

While construction will be suspended, Utah Department of Transportation spokesman John Gleason said drivers will still notice reduced speed limits in the construction zone and some lane shifts in place. He explained the agency made the decision because it doesn't want to add any extra "delays or stress" to what will likely exist on the roads surrounding Hill Air Force Base as the air show takes place Saturday and Sunday.

"There's a lot of construction happening up there. We've been at it every weekend. We're going to take a break from that so a lot of people can get to and from the air show without any extra problems," he said. "You're already looking at major delays getting up to Hill Air Force Base. ... It's something that takes a lot of time every year and it's no longer a well-kept secret."

UDOT traffic engineers will also monitor traffic and will adjust "nearby signals to help traffic flow into the base," the agency added in a statement.

How to take public transit to get to the air show at Hill Air Force Base this weekend

Since there's limited parking by the base, the agency is also recommending that people carpool or consider riding Utah Transit Authority buses or FrontRunner . UTA previously announced that it will operate FrontRunner on Sunday, something it normally doesn't do.

But drivers traveling north for the event could find some additional project delays, especially in Salt Lake County. UDOT crews are still planning to carry out three projects this weekend:

• I-80 will be reduced to one lane in each direction near the mouth of Parleys Canyon every night through Sunday while crews complete paving and striping work. I-215 and I-80 ramps could also be closed at points.
• Northbound I-15 will be reduced to one lane near 6400 South in Murray during weekend nights while crews improve bridges in the area. These lane reductions may begin as early as 8 p.m.
• Northbound I-15 collector-distributor ramps near 9000 South in Sandy will also be closed as early as 11 p.m. on Saturday for line striping work. Drivers won't be able to access I-215 while the ramps are closed overnight into early Sunday morning.

Gleason said people coming back from the air show, or other day trips, could be impacted by these projects. Each could cause big travel delays.

KSL Weather Forecast

The forecasts for Utah’s monsoon season are in. And it’s not very good news

The outlook for this summer’s monsoon season shows Utah’s recent stretch of wetter-than-normal years may soon come to an end.

Below-average rainfall and above-average heat is in store between July and September, according to forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

That’s bad news for water supplies, drought conditions and wildfire risk in an already dry state . But exactly where the worst localized impacts will be won’t be known until later in the summer, said Jon Meyer, assistant state climatologist with the Utah Climate Center .

“That will be a little bit touch-and-go as the season evolves into July and August. But at this point, overall, the region is expected to have an underperforming monsoon.”

Utah’s summer rainy season is also expected to show up late — likely two or three weeks behind its usual July onset. Early signs of monsoonal activity, he said, should already be forming in Mexico.

“They should be seeing afternoon thunderstorms across the mountains right now, and that really hasn't materialized. So it's behind getting out of the gate. … I think that is confirming our fears.”

The delay is largely due to lingering soil moisture from the past two wet years, which keeps the monsoon weather pattern from starting. The above-average heat Utah experienced this June may dry out the dirt a bit, he said, but likely not enough — or not quickly enough — to negate the effects of that moisture.

Last year’s summer rains were also delayed. But when they finally arrived, they brought enough moisture to turn things around in a hurry.

“I'm remaining optimistic that that might save our bacon this year with the delayed start expected again,” Meyer said. “But we have quite a few indicators right now suggesting that won't happen.”

One of those indicators is the cycle of water temperatures in the Pacific Ocean, the phenomenon that creates El Niño and La Niña weather patterns.

Forecasts still expect that cycle to shift to La Niña in the months ahead — which could theoretically boost monsoon rains — but Meyer said that transition has been delayed, too. So La Niña will arrive too late to have much impact.

“It dragged its feet just enough. … So we're missing out on that ingredient as well.”

With the outlook for La Niña and other global atmospheric patterns not as favorable as they were last year, he said it’s likely Utah will only see sporadic rainfall — rather than the steady storms of summer 2023.

For Utah communities, this return to a drier cycle could have big impacts. For one, Meyer said it’ll likely allow drought to creep back in.

“We've seen some whispers of drought expansion in southern and eastern Utah thanks to their dry and warmer spring. So what we're very much focused on right now is how our summer pattern will evolve and affect drought conditions.”

That’s a particularly worrying thought for the desert region around St. George, where water is already hard to come by .

“Monsoon rain for southwest Utah is actually very profound and has a huge effect upon our water supply,” said Washington County Water Conservancy District General Manager Zach Renstrom. “It's something very critical that we count on.”

It’s vital, partly, because of its timing.

Monsoons typically hit southern Utah in July and August. Those months often have some of the hottest days of the year and ramped up demand for local water supplies — often for outdoor irrigation to keep grass and crops alive.

When it rains, people tend to turn off their sprinklers. To promote that mindset, he said the district offers a rebate on smart irrigation controllers, which use local weather data to help residents adjust their watering schedule.

“If we can save a gallon of water, we have the ability to save that water for multiple years. … So we always preach, ‘Hey, turn off your sprinklers.’”

Without the rain, however, pressure on local water supplies will inevitably rise. The area’s reservoirs are filled and ready to handle that demand this year, Renstrom said. That doesn’t mean there wouldn’t be lasting impacts.

As water storage gets drawn down from increased use, his thoughts turn to refilling it with future runoff from snowpack. But a poor monsoon season could hurt those chances, too.

That’s because soil that gets parched this year might soak up next year’s runoff before the water flows down to replenish reservoirs.

“It makes me actually very nervous about the following year,” Renstrom said.

“If we don't get a good monsoon rain this year, not only does it affect this year, but it'll actually affect the next summer. So it almost has a year-long effect.”
