Driver turns through school crosswalk at 500 North and 600 West

On October 27, 2026 at 3:05 PM, a crossing guard was standing in the crosswalk with a stop sign raised while children crossed 500 North at 600 West. A driver in a red Kia SUV turned left from 500 North onto 600 West, drove through the crosswalk area, and ran over a cone. A Provo City police officer waiting in a vehicle to turn right from 600 West onto 500 North witnessed the incident; the driver then turned quickly into a parking lot, and the officer did not follow. The reporter described concern that drivers may treat the two crosswalks separately while children may be walking or biking across both, including into the right-hand travel lane on 600 West as vehicles turn into that lane.
