I just visited there from Philadelphia and I felt that the driving was much more calm and easy than where I’m from. I didn’t notice anyone cutting people off. It was nice!
Glad you had a good driving experience.
This is literally the first time I have ever heard this for driving in Utah. We typically get comments that we are the worst drivers ever and never let people in. Glad to hear that you had a good experience.
I am also from Philadelphia and I am thinking about visiting Provo. Thank you for sharing your positive experience :)
@@lisavance7845,
Relax, take a chill pill. Every city on the planet makes the same claim
Something I wish I would have known before I moved here is that if you aren’t of the LDS faith it can be difficult. I moved here from Southern California for a job opportunity and a better place to raise my kids. Two months after moving my 4 year old son was diagnosed with a rare form of childhood cancer. When people realized we weren’t Mormon it was difficult to find help. Kids weren’t allowed to play with my kids, parents wouldn’t help watch my other children while I spent time with my son in the hospital etc. it was quite awful.
Not only that but my 7 year old daughter had her birthday that summer and came home telling me I wasn’t a good mom because her teacher told her I should be having her baptized because she turned 8. One of my sons came home from a neighbors house and I’d found out the neighbors were secretly having the elders over while to give my son “lessons” with plans to have him baptized, all without informing me of anything.
If you aren’t LDS and have children I’d just recommend being aware. There are some very lovely people here but judgement is high.
Sorry you've experienced that. You shouldn't have go through that.
The train that goes all the way to Ogden is called Frontrunner. Trax is light rail trains in Salt Lake Valley that you can meet at a few of the Frontrunner stations. Actually there is an easy Frontrunner/Trax trip that takes you straight to the airport. Parking is limited at the Frontrunner stations and bus service outside the central area of Provo is very limited but Uber/Lyft are reliable for getting to/from the stations if you don’t have a family member or friend available to take you.
Thanks for the information!
I'm 66 yr old. I was born and raised in L.A. Lived in Las Vegas for 8 years. Lived in Seattle for 30. Vacation home in Phoenix. Moved to Utah Co. 3 years ago. For sure, no doubt about it, no contest, Utah drivers are THE worst! I couldn't believe it because outside their cars mormons are the most courteous folks I've ever been around.
Ha, ha too funny. I might have to change my opinion however. I’m currently visiting Seattle and the driving so far has been a bit rough lol.
Here in central Utah, the drivers are respectful for the most part. It's a significant change to our old state - CA
I think every city says their drivers are the worst. I don't think Utah drivers are any worse than anywhere else.
Maybe we give ourselves a hard time, but the roads sure do get crazy 😂 lol
Utah has a higher than average fatality rate and also Utah drivers are ranked amongst the most aggressive drivers in the US according to a Forbes advisory survey. I see people texting and driving literally every time I’m on the road. Unfortunately it’s not pretty.
@@scrumps101 Forbes advisor has Utah as 38th rank for worst drivers in 2023. I think the texting and driving thing is worldwide at this point.
@@ff7522 Also, last year Utah was ranked number in the 10 of worst drivers, some listing it as number 1. My car insurance almost doubled last year without any ticket s or accidents in over a decade. I can’t speak for other states that I don’t drive in but they say texting and driving is nearly as dangerous as drinking and driving. Downright scary.
one glaring omission: No grocery store for West-side Provo residents as promised by Mayor Kafusi during her initial campaign. 😩
Thanks for mentioning that.
Thanks for your video ... !!. I'm from Argentina...living in Provo since 2021 ...and after traveling across of 9 country's I found in Provo a peaceful place to live ...but I guess we need work more in others aspects like culture arts and human development. Ps. I'm your new subscriber.
Thanks so much for the sub. Welcome to Provo. Glad you are enjoying it here. Tengo ganas de visitar Argentina. Quizas, algun dia tendre the opportunidad de visitar a tu pais.
@@scottgwalters ...I recommend you..Mendoza country music fest in Argentina.
Not a lot of restaurants open on Sunday! Great video though, love Provo!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the details regarding the inversion winter. So, primarily in January , potentially lasting a month. Good to know if you have respiratory concerns.
Glad it was helpful!
This year was a bit different in that we didn’t really have an inversion in January but we did in February. So…January and February are the primary months you can expect to experience some inversion in the valleys along the wasatch front.
Thank you for bringing up the lack of nightlife in Provo! Very few real estate channels will bring that up.
Well…it’s just the truth or at least the truth according to my opinion 🤣. I’m not a nightlife kind of dude so I love that it’s that way but for sure there are many who want a robust nightlife and I don’t think Provo is your best option for that.
The mayor just announced all these new things they’re building like parks, bridges and even expanding the airport. Do you know anything about new home communities in Provo…?
They are mainly on the south west side closer to the airport. Let me see if I can track down the names of those developments for you..
I bet that this guy has more thumbs down than thumbs up. Cities outgrow the original street layouts, nowhere to expand. I lived in Provo, had a car but opted to take public transportation about fifty percent of the time.
I moved to Wellington Utah, no public transportation, still have a car but Wellington doesn't have any stores except for a gas station, I travel to Price, Utah for shopping which is about five miles away, I love it here, may even go back to work via the Internet.
Update: 6 months later Utah drivers have not gotten any better.
Unfortunately, I would have to agree.
You mean to tell me that the saints of this latter age are not at all courteous to fellow drivers? What is this world coming to other than total destruction?
We definitely could use a little more courtesy in the roads.
LDS drivers are the worst!! I don’t know what they are being told at church but they are very bad.
I would change that to Utah drivers, you have to remember that not all Utahns are LDS. In Salt Lake county less than half of people are LDS.
Provo Utah drivers are the worst. I’ve seen plenty of BYU kids throwing shakes,sodas, and water bottles when people don’t let them weave in and out of traffic
They can be crazy sometimes. That's why it's so important to be a defensive driver. I've never had BYU kids throw anything at me but did have some local teenagers do that once.
