Every time (EVERYTIME!!!) I go to the strip, I see
our visitors crossing the street as though it was
a walking town with no traffic. They think the drivers
will stop for them when they J walk???
What happens in Vegas well put you in the hospital
or worse.....

The pedestrian bridges are there to keep this from happening! When they check in to their hotel, they should be informed to use the bridges that will save their lives as opposed to saving a few steps & putting their lives in jeopardy.

Here's one for you. Years ago we tried to get the peds to stop jaywalking on the strip and Metro was told to leave them alone, for, you guessed it, the LVCVA was convinced that it would run off tourists if they were cited. This is the result. I honestly thought it would be sooner than now. Just maybe they might want to start writing those tickets before one of our valued tourists gets killed. Just a thought!

No pedestrian should ever be able to touch a foot on Las Vegas Blvd. for the entire length of The Strip. From Mandalay Bay to the Stratosphere. Overhead Bridges, Landscaping, and Fencing should be used to assure Pedestrian Safety. This is another example of the incompetence of Las Vegas Zoning and the Greed of the Casinos to insist and be willing to pay for public safety.
