SLCo Announces
Pilot Pedestrian Flag Program

Orange pedestrian flags may be coming to a crosswalk near you if you live in Unincorporated Salt Lake County. Salt Lake County has started a Pilot Crosswalk Flag Program with the installation of flag holders and flags at four locations. The locations are:

       • 2300 East @ 3000 South
       • 2300 East @ Claybourne Ave (2780 South)
       • 3900 South @ 3100 East
       • 3900 South @ Birch Drive (3300 East)

This program recognizes the success, and has used as a model, the Crosswalk Flag Program of Salt Lake City. The County’s pilot program relies on a sponsor—school, PTA, business or individual—to adopt a crosswalk and ensure flags are available for pedestrians.

Salt Lake County Public Works Operations Division will coordinate the use of orange flags and holders for designated crosswalks. Prior to that, the Operations Division will follow an approval and implementation process that includes formal requests for flags, review of traffic and pedestrian counts and, if approved, flag holder installation and an initial supply of flags.

When new flags are needed, the sponsor can provide their own or get a new supply from the county for a predetermined cost. When a school sponsors a crosswalk, flag costs may be waived upon request.

For complete information on the County’s Pilot Crosswalk Flag Program, please call Salt Lake County Public Works Operations Division @ 385-468-6101.
