Safety
Paper stating the importance of highway safety which involves two major issues: accident ratesa and the severity of accidents. Analysis of the Utah Department of Transportation statistical accident data show that the number of accidents in Logan Canyon do not justify major modifications of the highway due to the fact that accidents included cars sliding off the road in winter which involved only one vehicle. The paper concludes that safety is not a current issue in Logan Canyon.
Comments on the improvements of Logan Canyon
Comments from local leaders and residents of Cache, Bear Lake, and Rich counties arguing for both minimal improvements to the canyon road claiming it as a destination, and maximum improvement to increase traffic flow and reduce accidents by adding lanes to existing road.
