Utah Speed Limits
The most important speed rule is Utah’s Basic Speed Law, which requires you to never drive faster than what is safe for the current road, weather, and traffic conditions. This means you can be cited for speeding even if you are below the posted limit if conditions are hazardous, such as during rain, fog, or heavy traffic.
Be aware of default speed limits when no signs are posted: 20 mph in school zones, 25 mph in business or residential districts, and 55 mph on two-lane highways. Speeding penalties are severe, especially in work zones where fines are doubled, and excessive speed can lead to a reckless driving charge. Driving too slowly and impeding the flow of traffic is also illegal and dangerous.
