The community-based group Sweet Streets demanded Utah leaders take action to slow and prevent the number of injured and killed pedestrians.

A man was struck by a vehicle in Salt Lake City and now is in critical condition.

Police say a 31-year-old man was critically injured after being struck by a vehicle while crossing State Street shortly before midnight Sunday.

Salt Lake City is the first community in Utah to sign onto the ‘Vision Zero Network,’ a nationwide campaign to eliminate traffic-related deaths and injuries.

The Hummer has long generated controversy. This time, an electric version is pitting EV advocates against each other.

When will Salt Lake City join the national network? How much have traffic deaths increased in Utah?

Salt Lake City will be the latest to commit to Vision Zero and set a goal of eliminating traffic deaths and serious injuries.

Salt Lake City leaders announced Wednesday that the city is taking its first steps to be the first Utah city to join a U.S. network of cities looking to reduce traffic deaths.

Stretches of Fegenbush Lane, River Road, Seatonville Road, Chamberlain Lane and other Metro-maintained roads currently have speed limits over 35 mph.

U.S. pedestrian deaths have increased even more than traffic deaths overall. Some pedestrians have forgotten the basics of walking across the street.
