There’s a whole lot more to cruising the roads of Eureka than simply jumping behind the wheel and cranking the engine. Learn about the most important traffic laws here:

You have to drive on the right side of the road in Eureka. Even though it may seem similar to home, we suggest driving a little more cautiously in places you’ve never been.

Getting a parking spot in Eureka is a piece of cake. You won’t have to repeatedly go around the block in dense traffic here — and that’s why the locals love it. There’s plenty of off and on-street parking available.

As with most cities, you can expect slightly heavier traffic in the rush hours before and after work. However, thanks to its smaller population of around 670, traffic congestion isn’t a big issue in Eureka.

Speed limits vary around the city of Eureka, but typically range from 20mph to 80mph. Most residential zones have a maximum speed of 20mph unless posted otherwise.

Normally, one of two things will happen. Your rental company may bill the amount stated on the fine to your credit card. This is the most common approach. Otherwise, it may give your contact details to the relevant local agency so the fine is issued straight to you.

It’s not illegal to use a cell phone while driving, but we don’t recommend it. For a safer journey, it’s wise to wait until you’re safely parked before calling or texting.

When behind the wheel in Eureka, it’s a criminal offence to have a BAC (blood alcohol content) in excess of 0.05%. Thinking of having one or two drinks over lunch or dinner? Consider grabbing a taxi or using a ride-sharing service.

Yes it is. But before doing so, you are required to completely stop the car and only proceed if the coast is clear.

Seat belts should always be worn in Juab County. However, these rules may differ for certain vehicles, like those used by public transportation networks.
