Yeah, hopefully it calm down when I pass there tonight.

If you are going past SLC I highly recommend you take the bypass toward Ogden, the UT 201 toward the Salt Lake & Toolele and back on to I-80 instead of staying on I-80 up & down Parley's Summit & through SLC. It may even save a couple miles. Do not speed on the bypass, the curves will get you.Last edited: Oct 18, 2025

The way guys blow by me going down Parleys, it can't be any big deal.
Everybody flies by and probably thinks I'm too scared to go faster.austinmike, Trucker61016, Rugerfan and 3 others Thank this. -

What is this route? The 201 is south of 80.Oxbow and nextgentrucker Thank this.

Curious about this myself.

He’s talking about taking 215 close to the bottom of Parlays. I’ve always stayed on 80 though SLC but would consider the bypass if I was hitting town during rush hour.
austinmike, tscottme and Oxbow Thank this. -
I confused the I-84/Ogden bypass of SLC (if you are going north of SLC and beyond) for something else. I meant to post from east of SLC, coming into SLC, stay on I-80 W (climbing and descending Parley's Summit) to I-15 N to UT-201 W or continue I-15 N to I-80 W.
austinmike, nextgentrucker and PacoTaco Thank this. -
MAN!!! I passed Salt Lake City a couple hours ago, and man... Going through the mountains with them curves, right before you get into the city was crazy as hell lol... I was doing 45mph, driving an unbaffled tanker I couldn’t care less lmao!! I passed through there around 6:30 AM so there was no traffic, took exit 123A, UT-201 West, drove for 14 miles then got back on I-80 West. Taking my 10 now, I'll go out again tonight at 9 or 10PM.
tarmadilo, austinmike and PacoTaco Thank this.
