Murray Responds to Resident Outcry Over Speeding on 4800 South

MURRAY, Utah — Following a surge of resident complaints over chronic speeding on 4800 South, Murray City officials have responded with a series of traffic enforcement and infrastructure measures aimed at improving safety.

The issue gained broader attention after a 2News report on Monday highlighted growing frustration among neighbors in the area. Longtime resident Matt Alder voiced concerns that the city was failing to address what he called a dangerous situation.

“This is treated like a freeway,” Alder said. “Murray is a great city and everything, but I don’t feel that they’re doing anything to protect people on this road.”

Residents like Alder have called for stronger enforcement and visible action, criticizing what they perceive as slow or insufficient responses from city officials.

In a statement to 2News, the city acknowledged the concerns and emphasized its commitment to public safety, particularly around homes, schools, and parks. City leaders cited several recent efforts to combat speeding in the area and across Murray.

Among the measures currently being implemented:

  • Curb extensions at the intersection of 4800 South and Atwood Boulevard, designed to slow down traffic and improve pedestrian safety.

  • Installation of speed tables and radar speed signs in areas where traffic studies have shown consistent speeding.

  • A resident-driven request process for neighborhood-specific traffic studies, which can lead to additional traffic calming solutions.

  • Increased targeted patrols by Murray Police to monitor and enforce speed limits in identified problem areas.

On Tuesday, just one day after the initial news story aired, a 2News crew returned to the neighborhood and observed a police vehicle stationed near 4800 South. The officer pulled over at least two vehicles, though the nature of the stops was not confirmed.

Alder said a city council member also visited his home to personally discuss the issue and potential solutions. While he appreciated the outreach, Alder remained cautious.

“I’ll believe it when I see it,” he said.

In their statement, Murray City expressed appreciation for the community’s involvement, stating, “We’ve received a variety of suggestions from the community. While not every idea fits every situation, we take each one seriously and rely on real data to guide thoughtful, effective changes.”

Officials reiterated that they are committed to working alongside residents to make Murray’s streets safer for everyone.
