It is dangerous enough crossing the Las Vegas Strip on foot, but when you do it outside the marked crosswalks or while the lights are changing – you are betting your life!
Traffic Fatalities are up 20%
There have been over 60 auto-related fatalities in Las Vegas this year. This is 20 percent more than last year. Most pedestrian accidents occur when people cross the street outside the marked crosswalk – as with three recent fatalities and a couple other critical injuries.
Watch for yourself! Just stand for 5 – 10 minutes in front of the Mirage and the odds are you will see a close call. After we saw a guy (see video on walking Las Vegas), we stayed a while longer and there were numerous more close calls.
