Get Around

By car

St. George, like all cities in Utah, follows a well-defined grid system that makes it easy to get around and find your destination. For example, let's take the address 650 South 300 East. Each hundred represents one block radiating out from the center point at Tabernacle Street (running east-west) and Main Street (running north-south). To find 650 South 300 East, starting from the intersection of Main and Tabernacle, you would drive 3 blocks to the east and then just over 6 blocks to the south. St. George Boulevard, a major east-west artery, takes the place of 100 North.

While the grid system in the heart of town is well-defined, it can be become difficult to follow in the outlying areas and new subdivisions on the outskirts of the city. While in some cases the addresses will still follow the grid pattern and the blocks will become smaller and more irregularly spaced, and there will be more streets that don't follow the grid system at all.

Travel on a Bus in St. George (Utah)

SunTran is Street George's public transit system, with over 140 bus stops and six fixed routes serving St. George and Ivins.

By bicycle, et al.

St. George also has a good urban trail network offering some very scenic routes for pedestrians, bicyclists, and skaters.
