Grand Teton National Park to conduct high-visibility enforcement operations this summer

Date: July 1, 2026

MOOSE, Wyo.—Grand Teton National Park law enforcement rangers will conduct a series of high-visibility enforcement (HVE) operations throughout the summer to promote safe driving behaviors and reduce serious traffic incidents in the park.

Enforcement efforts will primarily be near the park’s southern boundary and will include increased patrol presence and traffic stops. These traffic safety campaigns are focused on seatbelt use, speeding, and impaired driving. Patrols will focus on targeted areas during designated enforcement periods to increase visibility and encourage compliance with traffic laws.

Motor vehicle crashes and impaired driving remain some of the leading safety concerns in national parks. Park rangers encourage all visitors to help keep roads safe by driving responsibly. Remember to:

• Wear seatbelts at all times.

 

• Obey posted daytime and nighttime speed limits.

 

• Never drive impaired.

 

• Stay alert for wildlife, bicyclists, and pedestrians.

 

• Allow extra travel time during peak summer visitation.

 

• Stay patient in construction zones.

The upcoming patrol operations are funded through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in partnership with the National Park Service Traffic Safety Coalition.
