Overpasses like the stretch of Cheyenne Ave that crosses I-15 can become high-risk areas for traffic collisions, particularly during midday hours when traffic volume is steady and drivers may become less vigilant. These elevated roadways often involve merging traffic and rapid lane shifts, increasing the likelihood of rear-end or side-swipe incidents.
According to the Nevada Department of Transportation, bridge and overpass segments in Clark County saw an uptick in crash frequency in 2024, with a notable number involving injuries. The combination of high speeds, congestion, and limited shoulder space makes these segments especially hazardous when accidents occur.
North Las Vegas, being a vital junction for commuter and freight traffic, experiences regular strain on its arterial roads like Cheyenne Ave. As such, timely and professional response to incidents is critical to minimizing impact and ensuring public safety.
