WITH SCHOOL BACK IN SESSION, UPD RIVERTON REMINDS MOTORISTS TO BE CAUTIOUS The Unified Police Department – Riverton Precinct would like to remind motorists to be extremely cautious now that school is back in session throughout the Jordan School District. To help protect that which is most precious to our community, our children, UPD offers the following reminders:   Be mindful of school zones. We have gone all summer with the school zone signs being off. Please be observant while diving through them and obey the speed reduction. A car traveling at 20 MPH can still cause severe injury to a pedestrian, so be extra vigilant. Stay off your electronic devices. Distracted driving is illegal, but more importantly, individuals using electronic devices while driving drive at the same impairment as an intoxicated driver at a 0.15 blood alcohol content (BAC) level. That is nearly two times the legal limit and soon to be three times the new legal limit (.05 BAC effective January 1, 2019).
