12-14 Record Breaking Storm

This morning marked the first big snow storm in Salt Lake. Over the course of the day, we got about a foot of snow. This provided some interesting morning driving weather.
Merging from I-15 to I-215 proves exciting with any kind of inclement weather, and today was no exception – there was a Prius who’d spun around after smashing their left headlight against the side wall.

Drifting into My Lane

While driving along 7th East today, the car next to me just drifted over into my lane. They only signaled or seemed to notice me when I slammed on my brakes and honked.

Lane Chane Problems

While driving in downtown SLC today, the truck in front of me nearly merged into the car next to him when changing lanes. I believe his blinker/taillight was out on that side, which certainly didn’t help – he may have been signaling, but there was no way for anyone else to tell.

Two Left Turns

In the long line of cars waiting on 13th East at the south end of the valley, one paused to let the waiting cars turn. Both decided to go at once and very nearly collided.

As a sidenote, I’m not sure why I suddenly ran across three video-worthy events after a few weeks of nothing, but that’s how it goes sometimes.

Very Very Orange

At the intersection of State Street and 106th South, a car made a left turn long after the light had turned red – even with the few second grace period, he was nearly in the middle of the intersection when cars started moving the other way.

Lane Merge Close Call

Right before the exit from I-215 south to I-80, a guy in a truck merged to the right lane apparently without checking for cars in the right lane. He noticed too late that there was a car there, and so started a back-and-forth as he decided which lane to stay in.

Close Left

At the intersection of 94th S and 7th E, an SUV narrowly missed being hit after not having enough room to turn.

Construction Barrel Dodge

There is currently construction ongoing for eastbound I-215 near the I-15 interchange. Today someone apparently had trouble avoiding the barrels, and several of them were hit – one of them even going into the traffic lanes.

I-215 Grass Fire

Off to the side of I-215 today there was a grass fire. It was relatively small, but made a large amount of smoke, and some pretty cool video while driving through it.

The fire was big enough it rated a small article on the SL Tribune that can be found here (nothing on KSL though that I saw).

Left Turn Slipup

The car in front of me went to follow the next car in turning left. It misjudged the gap and had to avert its course to avoid being hit by the oncoming car.
