Risks of Early Morning Driving in Las Vegas
Intersections like E Charleston Blvd and S Sloan Ln are common sites for accidents in urban areas due to high traffic volumes and potential driver distractions. Early morning hours add unique challenges, including reduced visibility, driver fatigue, and less traffic awareness.
The Nevada Department of Transportation identifies several major contributors to traffic accidents statewide:
- Distracted Driving: Activities like texting or adjusting in-car systems divert attention from the road.
- Speeding: Exceeding speed limits reduces reaction times and increases crash severity.
