Kaysville's Most Dangerous Roads

These figures start from every crash in UDOT's public records located inside Kaysville's city limits, from January 1, 2018 to August 4, 2025, the last date the file covers. Each crash was assigned to the street it was plotted on, with preference for the road named in the report. I-15 and ramp crashes are set aside in their own section, private-property crashes are left out of the street totals, and a crash is serious or fatal when the report lists a death or a suspected serious injury.

Kaysville recorded 3,071 crashes in all. 1,389 were on I-15 or a ramp, 45.2% of the total; only two of the 57 cities have a larger freeway share. 15 were on private property and 28 had no usable street match, leaving 1,639 street crashes. Of those, 38 were serious or fatal (2.3%, against 2.6% on streets across the seven counties), 6 people died, and some injury, counting possible injuries, was reported in 29.8%.

Young Drivers in Nearly Half the Crashes

Teen drivers were in 11 of the 38 serious or fatal street crashes, 28.9%, compared with 19.1% across the seven counties. On 200 North they were involved in 183 of 369 crashes (49.6%); on Main Street, 179 of 389. Distraction was flagged in 203 street crashes, 12.4%, above the 9.8% regional figure.

Main Street (SR-273) and 200 North together carry 758 crashes, 46.2% of the city's street total, and 12 of the serious or fatal ones. The 400 West junction on 200 North recorded 82 crashes, more than any other junction on a listed street. Drivers leaving the scene were rare: hit and run was flagged in 39 street crashes, 2.4%, the second-lowest share among the 57 cities.

The Kaysville Roads That Lead the Count

Roads are ranked by crashes recorded inside city limits, and only the five that reached 50 crashes are shown. When a crash happened where two listed roads meet, it counts once, on the road the report names. The cross streets named are each road's busiest junctions.

• Main Street (SR-273) — 389 crashes, 8 serious or fatal, 1 death. Rear-end (37.3%) and side-impact (37.8%) crashes are almost even. The busiest junctions are 200 North (46), 550 South (29) and 300 West (21); motorcycles were in 11 crashes, 3 of them serious.
• 200 North — 369 crashes, 4 serious or fatal, no deaths. Side impacts lead at 43.9%. 400 West (82), 300 West (36) and Main Street (25) are its busiest crossings. UDOT estimates reach about 22,000 vehicles a day.
• Highway 89 (US-89) — 62 crashes, 2 serious or fatal, 1 death. 32 fall in UDOT's single-vehicle or not-applicable group and speed was flagged in 11. Mountain Road (22) is the busiest junction; UDOT estimates reach about 38,000 vehicles a day.
• Crestwood Road — 58 crashes, 4 serious or fatal, 1 death. A vehicle left the road in 18 of them. Fairfield Road (14) and Main Street (12) are its busiest junctions.
• Fairfield Road (100 East) — 50 crashes, 2 serious or fatal, 1 death. 52.0% were side impacts, the highest share of the five. The 200 North junction had 15.

The five roads account for 928 of the 1,639 street crashes (56.6%), 20 of the 38 serious or fatal ones and 4 of the 6 deaths. Flint Street misses the list by one crash, at 49.

Crestwood Road Stands Out on Severity

By serious or fatal crashes, Main Street still leads with 8, and 200 North and Crestwood Road tie at 4. Crestwood Road reaches that total with only 58 crashes, so 6.9% of its crashes were serious or fatal, the highest rate of the five and three times the citywide 2.3%; 3 of its 4 came in 2024. Old Mill Lane had 1 serious crash among 15. Citywide, 21 of the 38 serious crashes fall in UDOT's single-vehicle or not-applicable group, which includes a vehicle striking a pedestrian, cyclist or fixed object.

Riders and Walkers Among the Badly Injured

Motorcycles were involved in only 31 street crashes (1.9%) but in 12 of the 38 serious or fatal ones, 31.6%; four of the 57 cities have a higher share. Pedestrians were struck in 36 crashes and accounted for 9 of the serious ones (23.7%, against 15.1% across the seven counties). Impairment was flagged in 12 street crashes, 0.7%.

Most crashes happened in daylight hours: 585 between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. and 559 between 3 and 7 p.m. Sunday saw the fewest (88). Across the complete years 2018 to 2024, September had the most (157). Street crashes dropped from 268 in 2018 to 160 in the 2020 pandemic year and stood at 215 in 2024. Serious or fatal crashes were recorded 2 times in each of 2018 and 2019 and 9 in 2020; counts this small move with single crashes and possibly with coding.

Where I-15 Fits In

I-15 had 1,383 crashes inside Kaysville, 18 serious or fatal, with 3 deaths. Freeway and ramp crashes make up 45.2% of the city's total, more than double the 21.4% across the seven counties. They are kept out of the street ranking. Unreported crashes, minor property-damage crashes below Utah's reporting threshold and anything after August 4, 2025 are not included.

Fault, Coverage and Filing Deadlines

Utah's personal injury protection pays first, at least $3,000 in medical expenses regardless of who caused the crash (Utah Code § 31A-22-307). A claim for pain and other general damages against the responsible driver requires an injury beyond the § 31A-22-309 threshold, for instance a fracture, a permanent impairment or medical expenses over $3,000; that threshold does not apply to an uninsured motorist claim. An unidentified driver who leaves the scene is treated as uninsured (§ 31A-22-305(2)(b)). Your own share of fault lowers the award, and recovery requires that the other parties' fault exceed yours (§ 78B-5-818). Most injury lawsuits must be filed within four years (§ 78B-2-307); a claim that a city or UDOT road was unsafe needs written notice within one year (§ 63G-7-402). See our Kaysville car accident, motorcycle accident and pedestrian accident pages, our guide to crashes involving teen drivers, and the guides to proving fault, PIP claims and filing deadlines.

What the Law Lets You Recover

• Expenses so far: ambulance and hospital bills, follow-up visits, prescriptions, wages you missed and the cost of fixing or replacing your car.
• Pain and disruption: physical pain and the school, work, sport and family routines an injury interrupts.
• The longer term: future treatment, reduced earning capacity and care you may need if you do not fully recover.

Kaysville's Numbers, Explained
