The Risks of High-Traffic Intersections in Las Vegas
Intersections like S Main St and W Charleston Blvd in Las Vegas are common sites of collisions due to their high traffic volume and congestion during peak hours. Urban areas across Nevada often face similar challenges, making proactive safety measures critical.
Nevada crash data identifies several frequent causes of accidents:
- Distracted Driving: Activities like texting divert drivers’ attention from the road.
- Speeding: Excessive speed increases crash severity and reduces reaction times.
- Failure to Yield: Ignoring right-of-way rules often leads to accidents, especially at busy intersections.
