Traffic safety advocates raise awareness of the deadly crashes on Clark County roadways while highlighting a day next month that recognizes road crash victims.

The Nevada Department of Public Safety and Transportation released the September 2024 year-to-date state fatal report — highlighting a two percent increase in deaths so far in the state and a 13% increase in Clark County.

In March, GOED unveiled a study by UNLV’s Brookings Mountain West, Center for Business and Economic Research and Transportation Research Center that found that state economic development is siloed across jurisdictions. Unlike in neighboring regional metropolitan centers, Southern Nevada lacks a governance structure to facilitate the planning and coordination needed to realize regional economic and infrastructure priorities.

October is National Pedestrian Safety Month, because this is when fatalities for vulnerable road users increase; there is less daylight as fall begins, so this is a deadly time of year for those walking and biking.

The top official of the Metropolitan Police Department said he is tired of his officers having to deal with “broken and mangled” bodies on the streets of the Las Vegas Valley, the result of fatal accidents caused by poor driving.

Seat belts were once simple straps that mainly served to avoid being tossed from automobiles on bumpy roads. Even then, most drivers and passengers didn’t bother with them.
