Safety at the US-89/6600 South intersection

There have been several “near misses”, almost accidents, at the light where 6600 South insects US-89.  There are several problems with people leaving Uintah and pulling out onto US-89.

First, please be aware that there are three lanes on 6600 South at the intersection.

1- The center lane goes straight ahead across US-89 to Smitty’s, Pitchers Sports, and the hotel.  You should not turn right or left from this center lane.  Straight ahead only.  Do NOT turn left from the center lane.

2- The left lane is the only lane that should be used to turn left onto US-89 northbound.

3- The right lane is the only lane that should be used to turn right onto US-89 southbound.  And the right turn can only be made on a green light.  There is “no turn” on red.
