One thing that is rather in important if you are going to give street names in Utah as well in other Mormon settled areas: most street names are in a "Number Compass Direction" format. In the video, you mentioned that the bus is traveling along "400 Street". There are 4 "400 Streets" in SLC, 400 North, 400 West, 400 East and 400 South. Streets in Mormon areas are named after their grid coordinates from a meridian point, in the case of cities in the Salt Lake valley that is South Temple and Main Street. Named streets are not common in LDS settled towns so be sure include the Compass Direction part of the name. Of course the locals often will short cut the name with an ordinal number like "4th West" for "400 West". Also don't forget the Compass Direction when you give directions as the Utah State Capitol is 350 North State Street. If you don't include that, then someone might goto 350 South State Street where they would find a Venezuelan restaurant and a tattoo shop.

I did not know about this. Next time, I will put the full street name. It is good to know and thank you for sharing this.

@@HOUExplorer No problem. Areas whose first European settlers were LDS are, different.. You can always tells as there is a neat grid layout, streets are often wider than average and the grid system street naming scheme. It takes visitors a bit to get used to it but once you are, it's very easy to pinpoint an address. Many modern (settled in the 19th century or later) American cities use a similar system but it's not as prominent nor are the street names based on it.
