Law enforcement buckling down on snow traction in Cottonwood Canyons

According to UDOT’s Cottonwood Canyons website: “The Traction Law is Utah’s administrative rule (R20-6) that the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) and law enforcement implements during severe winter driving conditions.”

More snow is expected to hit Utah’s mountains this week. As people plan their trips up to Cottonwood Canyons, they may want to plan for long traffic lines.

“We’re coming into the busiest recreational ski times of the season,” said Sgt. Gary Young with the Cottonwood Heights Police Department.

Young shared how after the holidays and through the first few months of the year, they expect to see an influx in visitors to the Cottonwood Canyons.

“Especially on these snow days when people are trying to get up onto the ski resorts, it’s going to be busy, so if you have that sticker, they’re just going to pass you right through,” said Zackery Jensen, the manager at Big O Tires in Fort Union.
