Utah Traction Law 2026: Prepare for Winter Driving

Snow season is approaching Utah's mountains. At Mobile Mechanic UT, we've noticed that many drivers, especially young people traveling with friends, aren't always familiar with tire requirements, snow chains, or mountain road restrictions. A little preparation can prevent serious problems.

Before heading to Big Cottonwood Canyon, Little Cottonwood Canyon, Alta, Snowbird, Brighton, Solitude, or Park City, remember:

- Check UDOT's current traction restrictions and road closures.
- Know whether your AWD, 4WD, or 2WD vehicle meets tire requirements.
- Check tire tread depth and learn how to install snow chains.
- Use UDOT's new 2026 traction law quiz.
- Inspect your battery, brakes, antifreeze, heater, and defroster.
- Carry water, food, blankets, a phone charger, and emergency contacts.
