New signal rules for Utah drivers

Beginning May 6, 2026, Utah drivers do not need to signal when entering or leaving a roundabout. For other turns and lane changes, drivers must signal continuously for at least two seconds before starting the move. Turns, merges, and lane changes must still be reasonably safe. Violations of these rules are infractions.
