Definitely a major hazard. It is impossible to see the oncoming traffic as you leave these businesses

UDOT Administration assigned this issue to UDOT Region 1

They should probably paint the center lanes as shared as well since that's how we have to use them when we can't see that traffic is coming due to these trucks! It would be better for everyone to know a car can come from anywhere...

This is only a problem with the semi trucks. The appropriate steps have been applied correctly on Marshall Way south of Hill Field road with 'no semi parking' signs posted and that section of roadway is not encumbered with this safety issue. 3 times yesterday, my customers narrowly missed a multi-car pile-up because of the lack of visibility when trying to turn right onto Hill Field Road. If the semi trucks are allowed to continue to block the visibility of right hand turns, it is a matter of time before there is a tragedy. It is completely avoidable and negligent not to take action to remove these high profile vehicles from blocking visibility.

This semi truck issue, is not only extremely dangerous for all the tenants in our buildings, but for any clients trying to enter or exit our parking lot! I have spoken with Layton City Code Enforcement, and they agree as they have had the same poor visibility trying to exit!
Not only is it a major hazard and possible life threatening of innocent drivers, the semi trucks have blocked the speed limit sign in front of our building many times. I have attached photos. If the curbing could be marked red as there are multiple fire hydrants on both sides of this road that would help? If these trucks could drive just less than an 1/8th of a mile west, there is no danger of busy parking lots, it is mostly fields. I have more photos, however it looks like this site only allows one?

UDOT does not have jurisdiction over Hillfield Road in the area in questions. Specifically, UDOT only has jurisdiction of Hillfield Road (SR-232) Main Street (Walmart Signal) to the HAFB Main Gate/SR-193. Therefore, we will not be able to help address the issue you are experiencing due to the truck parking along Hillfield West of the RR tracks. Please continue to work with Layton City with regards to this issue.

Close

It should be noted for anyone who stumbles upon this issue that despite the issue being closed here, the semi-truck parking is still an issue. Visibility is still severely limited on an already blind corner and road signs - including speed limits - are still being hidden by the trucks.
