In the State of Utah, bicycles are permitted to operate on most public roadways as vehicles, with a few special exceptions for bicycles. There are a few things you should know if you plan to bicycle on freeways. Freeway speed limits in Utah are posted at 65 mph to 75 mph.
Freeways carry a large volume of heavy truck traffic.
Passing trucks can create an initial blast effect and then suction as they pass closely. This may occur on other highways, as well, where trucks pass closely. Rumble strips on freeways are often wide and are located within the shoulder area. Debris blown from passing vehicles may also collect in the shoulder area. Please ride in these areas with extra caution.
