South Jordan's Most Dangerous Intersections for Pedestrians and Cyclists

Counting method, in brief. UDOT maintains a safety model of signalized intersections for people walking and biking, and 38 of its signals are in South Jordan. Every crash in UDOT's crash records that involved a pedestrian or bicyclist was assigned to its nearest modeled signal, as long as that signal was 250 feet away or less, the Highway Safety Manual's definition of an intersection crash. Crashes UDOT coded Fatal or Suspected Serious Injury are labeled serious or fatal here.

The tally is 30 pedestrian crashes and 27 bicycle crashes. Three of the pedestrian crashes (10.0%) were serious or fatal, below the statewide share of 16.7% under the same method, and none of the bicycle crashes was. Thirteen of the 38 signals, about a third, recorded no crash of either kind; across the state the figure is a little over a quarter.

A Lighter Record, Measured Against the State

Per signal, South Jordan sits well below the state. Its 57 crashes over 38 signals come to about 1.5 each, where all 1,263 signals in UDOT's model average about 2.5. Of the Utah cities we have counted this way with at least 20 bicycle crashes, South Jordan is the only one in which none was serious or fatal. Its share of serious or fatal pedestrian crashes, 3 of 30, is also lower than the state's.

A lower count does not make a crossing safe, and the data cannot say why the numbers are lower. Part of the answer may be exposure: UDOT's model puts estimated foot traffic at 100 people a day or fewer at 31 of the 38 signals, and only one signal, Daybreak Parkway at the Mountain View Corridor, is estimated above 220. What the records can show is where the crashes that did happen were concentrated.

South Jordan's Top Ten by Pedestrian Crashes

Ordered by pedestrian crashes recorded from January 2018 through August 4, 2025. Ties are broken first by bicycle crashes, then by serious or fatal pedestrian crashes, then by UDOT's estimate of daily foot traffic. Past fifth place every signal has a single pedestrian crash, so from there the tie-breaks set the order. Traffic and foot-traffic figures are model estimates.

• 10400 South (SR-151) & 2200 West — 5 pedestrian crashes, none serious or fatal, and no bicycle crashes. UDOT estimates about 130 people cross here on foot each day.
• 10400 South (SR-151) & Redwood Road (SR-68) — 4 pedestrian crashes and 1 bicycle crash, none serious or fatal. The model's second-highest foot-traffic estimate in the city, about 218 people a day, with two bus stops nearby.
• 11400 South (SR-175) & 1300 West — 3 pedestrian crashes, 1 serious or fatal, and 1 bicycle crash. A school is nearby, and UDOT's estimate of about 22 riders a day is among the highest in the city.
• 11400 South (SR-175) & Bangerter Highway (SR-154) — 2 pedestrian crashes and 5 bicycle crashes, the most bicycle crashes at any South Jordan signal. UDOT's data lists it as a single-point urban interchange; the busier road carries about 48,000 vehicles a day.
• 11400 South & 4000 West — 2 pedestrian crashes and 1 bicycle crash, none serious or fatal. Estimated foot traffic is about 89 people a day.
• 10600 South (South Jordan Parkway) & Riverfront Parkway (700 West) — 1 pedestrian crash, serious or fatal, and 4 bicycle crashes. The busier road carries about 45,000 vehicles a day, and three bus stops are nearby.
• 10000 South & Jordan Gateway (500 West) — 1 pedestrian crash and 2 bicycle crashes, none serious or fatal, where UDOT estimates about 18 riders a day.
• Daybreak Parkway & Mountain View Corridor (SR-85) northbound — 1 pedestrian crash and 1 bicycle crash. UDOT's model estimates more foot and bicycle traffic here than at any other South Jordan signal, about 537 walkers and 29 riders a day.
• 9800 South & 2200 West — 1 pedestrian crash and 1 bicycle crash, neither serious or fatal, where the busier road carries only about 4,700 vehicles a day by UDOT's estimate.
• 11400 South (SR-175) & Riverfront Parkway (930 West) — 1 pedestrian crash and 1 bicycle crash. Nine more signals also recorded a single pedestrian crash; among them, 10600 South at 400 West had the city's third serious or fatal one.

Read this list with its small numbers in mind. The first-place signal has 5 pedestrian crashes in more than seven and a half years, and the bottom half is a run of single crashes ordered by tie-breaks. Two of the city's three serious or fatal pedestrian crashes are in the ten; the third, at 10600 South and 400 West, is just outside it. Nine of the ten are standard four-leg intersections, the exception being the interchange at Bangerter Highway.

Bicycle Crashes Without a Serious Injury

South Jordan's 27 bicycle crashes are spread over 16 signals, and none was coded serious or fatal. The most at one location is 5, at 11400 South and Bangerter Highway, followed by 4 at 10600 South and Riverfront Parkway. 11400 South as a whole carries 12 of the 27 across its 11 modeled signals, while 10400 South, home to the two signals with the most pedestrian crashes, has 4.

Estimates of Foot and Bicycle Traffic

UDOT's model also attaches estimates to each signal: daily pedestrians and bicyclists, vehicles on each road, nearby schools and bus stops, and whether the crossing is lit. These are exposure measures, not crash counts. The model's separate predicted-crash figure has no stated time period, so it is not compared with the 2018 to 2025 counts here.

In South Jordan the estimates and the crashes often point in different directions. The signal with by far the most estimated foot traffic, Daybreak Parkway at the Mountain View Corridor, recorded a single pedestrian crash. Four signals with no pedestrian estimate in the model each recorded one. And the model flags four South Jordan signals as unlit; one of them, at the UTA park-and-ride on Jordan Gateway (10350 South), had a pedestrian crash. Estimates are a starting point for asking what a crossing is like, not a measure of how dangerous it is.

Weekdays, Commutes and November in South Jordan

Twenty-eight of South Jordan's 30 pedestrian crashes happened on a weekday; Saturday and Sunday had one apiece across the whole period. The morning commute stands out more here than in most of the state: 7 of the 30 fell between 6 and 9 a.m., against 333 of 2,105 statewide, and another 10 came between 3 and 7 p.m. Eleven happened after dark, and two of the three serious or fatal pedestrian crashes were among them. Counting only complete years, 2018 through 2024, November had more pedestrian crashes than any other month, 6 of 28. Bicycle crashes were a daytime event: 24 of the 27 happened in daylight and only one after dark.

Drivers Who Didn't Stop

Nine of the 30 pedestrian crashes, close to a third, were coded hit and run, including one that was serious or fatal. Across all modeled signals the share is about one in six (371 of 2,105). The bicycle crashes show a different pattern: none was coded hit and run, but officers marked distraction in 5 of the 27, where statewide the flag appears on about one bicycle crash in twenty (55 of 1,115). Teen drivers were noted in 5 pedestrian and 5 bicycle crashes, and 3 pedestrian crashes were flagged for a driver disregarding a signal or sign.

When the driver is gone, the coverage question moves to your side. Utah Code § 31A-22-305(2)(b) counts an unidentified vehicle that left the scene as uninsured, and the uninsured-motorist coverage that answers for it can come from a policy held by a relative you live with, even if you don't own a car yourself (§ 31A-22-305(1)). Personal injury protection follows the same household rule for a person hurt in an accident involving any motor vehicle (§ 31A-22-308), so early medical bills don't have to wait for the driver to be found.

Where the Limit Reaches 45 in South Jordan

South Jordan's serious pedestrian crashes all came at faster crossings. Each of the three happened at a signal where one road is posted at 45 mph in UDOT's 2026 state-route speed data: 11400 South at 1300 West, and South Jordan Parkway (10600 South) at both Riverfront Parkway and 400 West. The two signals at the top of the list sit on 10400 South (SR-151), posted at 40, though Redwood Road at the second of them is listed at 45.

Sixteen of the city's 38 signals reach 45 mph or more on one approach. They recorded 14 of the 30 pedestrian crashes, all 3 serious ones, and 20 of the 27 bicycle crashes. The 17 signals that top out at 40 recorded 15 pedestrian crashes, none serious or fatal. Three crashes are not enough to prove a link, and across Utah the serious-or-fatal share does not climb steadily with the posted limit. These are current limits and may differ from those in force when a given crash happened. Bangerter Highway and the Mountain View Corridor, listed at 60 and 65, account for only 4 pedestrian crashes across their three signals.

What a Low Count Can Hide

A crash counts here only if it happened within 250 feet of a signal in UDOT's model. A pedestrian hit mid-block on South Jordan Parkway, on a residential street or in a shopping-center lot is not included, and neither is anything after August 4, 2025. Each crash is assigned to a single signal and counted once, however many people were hurt. With totals this small, one more crash would lift a signal from the bottom of this list to the middle. None of these figures settles who was at fault.

When the Crossing Itself Is Part of the Story

A record of earlier crashes at a signal can be evidence that a hazard was known or foreseeable, which matters most when the layout, timing or lighting of a crossing is part of what went wrong. UDOT's crash data is public, and signal timing plans, crosswalk markings and lighting records kept by South Jordan or UDOT can be requested. The driver's own conduct is still the core of most claims. Our South Jordan pedestrian accident and bicycle accident pages walk through those cases, and the statewide guides explain how fault is proven, filing a PIP claim and the deadline to sue. Crashes of every kind on each South Jordan street are ranked on our South Jordan’s most dangerous roads page.

Damages in These Cases

• Money already lost or owed: emergency care, specialists, rehabilitation, missed work, and reduced future earnings.
• Pain and its effects: the injury itself, disrupted sleep and mood, and the walks or rides a person stops taking.
• The long run: later surgery, continuing therapy, assistive devices, and paid help with daily tasks.

Where the Numbers Come From

Two UDOT sources sit behind this page. Its crash records supplied every pedestrian- or bicyclist-involved crash from January 1, 2018 through August 4, 2025, and each one was placed at the nearest signal within 250 feet, following the Highway Safety Manual's intersection distance. Its pedestrian and bicycle safety model for signalized intersections supplied the list of signals and the estimates of foot, bicycle and vehicle traffic, schools, bus stops and lighting. A crash coded Fatal or Suspected Serious Injury is shown as serious or fatal, and statewide comparisons use the same method across 1,263 modeled signals. Crash times, lighting, months (complete years 2018 through 2024 only) and the officers' report flags come from the same UDOT records; posted limits come from UDOT's 2026 state-route speed layer and UGRC's Utah Roads. Every city we have counted this way is listed on our statewide page, Utah’s most dangerous intersections.
