‘It’s car after car after car’: Police target dangerous intersections as traffic deaths rise
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 май 2024
- Nearly five months after the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department revealed the valley’s most dangerous intersections, agency data shows the danger has gotten worse, provoking targeted efforts that drivers may not see coming.
The amount of cars I see driving around without even having plates is insane.
Dangerous intersection? You mean Dangerous drivers!
no, I mean dangerous intersections stop blaming individuals for problems in society and blame your government ..poverty is the mother of crime, and when people are running late to their shitty jobs they are gonna run a 10 min red light
If the intersection is dangerous maybe traffic lights timing need to be checked
Yes, the inept, clueless, careless California driver's have invaded Nevada. They're nuts.
@@youmad1313 typical liberal foolishness blames the government for stupidity behind the wheel. Blame poverty when actually everyone came out of history the same. There are those who build civilizations and operate them and those who can't, like commiefornia.
@@libreverdaderamente4450 Yeah looked like there was construction on the road in this video. I bet the traffic light is timed so only 3 cars can go before it turns red again.
There’s a lot of whiny entitled people in the comments. We need more traffic enforcement, but now you’re mad because they’re pulling people over for running red lights.
EXACTLY!!
Seriously, don't break traffic laws and you have nothing to worry about. It's about damn time we had some actual enforcement. People here drive like traffic laws are nonexistent.
To many cars with no license plates, and driving recklessly
In reality you do not need license plates , insurance, or registration unless it is a work vehicle..you should read the constitution once in awhile and stop bootlicking authority...the only reason why people do is the separation of state and federal powers
@youmad go off and masterbate to the constitution then. nobody wants to hear about your semantics.
@@youmad1313Ok sovereign citizen.
Our visitors from the South!
@@youmad1313If that’s the case, why hasn’t any attorney been able to successfully argue that in court?
That's most places now....light turns red, they don't stop......light turns green, they don't go......turn signals? What's a turn signal?
People disregard traffic laws because they haven’t been enforced in years. The toothpaste is out of the tube.
I got T Boned on Buffalo and Windmill. That driver had an infant in the back seat. Totaled my car and luckily the infant was not harmed.

Were they Latino?
About time you fools
you are the fool if you think police ticketing people make others safe
@@youmad1313 "you are the fool if you think police ticketing people make others safe"
Do you think _lack_ of enforcement would be _safer?_
@@christasimon9716 if a driver is reckless then a traffic stop should be conducted, but most stops are just to run your name and check for warrants, insurance, and state registration which is completely unconstitutional... the problem is the shitty grid design and too many traffic lights along with an overpopulated city...A lot of these roads need to be redesigned and off the stupid grid pattern which creates 100 times more intersections and traffic lights
@@youmad1313 Your an Illegal Alien 😂
About time? They've been singing the same tune and applying the same failed strategies since the beginning and nothing has improved because they haven't changed. It's long past time for a different approach. The people who think like these idiots in the video are the 1st problem/obstacle because they'll prevent any type of real change from happening.
SUPER BRIGHT HEADLIGHTS have been recognized as one of the leading causes of accidents nationwide.
Some states have started legislation to ban these headlights and some states are now ticketing drivers with the super bright LED headlights.
Is there anyone reading this that has not been totally blinded for a few seconds from a car in oncoming traffic or completely blinded by a car traveling behind you ?
The police obviously cite people for a burnt out headlight or taillight which is minor compared to being blinded by these insanely bright LED lights coming towards you or traveling be you.
Will Nevada ever do something about the LED lights ?
I move my mirrors constantly at night because of headlights that are blinding me
wont mean anything to ghost cars with no tags. Cops need to start giving a shit. Been all over and ive never seen anything like it.
I see this everyday with no Police in sight.
I see accidents all the time on Charleston , heading on to the 215, drivers get inpatient cause them lights are so long
"them lights"
I can see why Las Vegas has the most dismal schools in the country lol.
@@pearlsswine what are u a 100 years old
If Metro ever responds to an non-fatal accident.
Yes, and road construction everywhere, and people who can't figure it out - blocking every fast/passing lane...
Buy open crunch up open cigar empty repack roll dry light and light still red😂😂😂😂
What about all the crazy ass construction on that street. The cones barely seem to be setup correctly with enough space for vehicles. It is not just the drivers. And what about the large construction vehicles/equipment moving in and out of the area blocking and slowing traffic.
"And what about the large construction vehicles/equipment moving in and out of the area blocking and slowing traffic."
Do you think that having to slow down for construction is _causing_ motorists to speed and run red lights, and run into other motorists?
City has a lot to do, paradise rd , spring mt and others need repair, shameful,
f1 brought profits ? ok, where is it?
Everybody speeding in Las Vegas.
Those 45MPH speed limits have got to go!
@@michaelellringer5600 They should be 20-30 mph. These are streets we're talking about. Businesses on either side which means people are crossing. It's not safe to make people cross 100 feet wide streets at speeds over 30 mph. The streets need to be narrowed and slowed down to make them safe.
Few years ago I got pulled over, cop said I ran a red light back there and I said it seemed more burnt orange to me, figuring I was busted. Cop asked what the hell burnt orange was, I said that is red with a tad of yellow. He laughed and decided to give me a warning but said in the future consider burnt orange the same as red.
So were citing people for this but we are allowing people who commit murder to be released the next day?
that would be the court system. The DA and Judges
going after hard working people pays. $$$$
So by your logic we should wait until someone gets killed in accident before we do something about the reckless driving?
You're comparing apples to cucumbers here, the cops don't impose sentences, the judges do and the judges don't "cite" people for traffic violations.
Citations is what brings in the money$$$…… each one of those cops get paid at least $150,000 a year. If you do the math , that’s a whole lots of money. Their salaries have to be justified by writing tickets
Some idiot was driving south on Mountain Vista tonight weaving in and out of traffic as if the laws don't apply to him. If that dude was in the comments right now, he'd probably be like "durrrr, this is all about getting money durrr"
Those jackasses are all over desert inn and eastern too.
people are afraid to fly on planes but yet they drive everyday which is way way way way way more dangerous
Clearly the intersection is designed wrong. Fix the design. Paying TEN cops to constantly patrol this intersection instead of just fixing the design is actually insanity. They built this street like a racetrack and then wonder why people speed. They built this intersection like a runway and then wonder why people have trouble crossing. It's absolutely idiotic to pay cops to make sure people use this broken street correctly instead of paying for this street to be fixed.
lol
@@blakesoutherlandLasVegas I literally cannot dumb it down for you any further.
Put up the traffic cameras.
I was driving to work today and someone cut me off doing gang signs out the window … I followed him into the parking lot and ruined his life !!
I agree. The nation needs more traffic enforcement officers.
Can we see statistics on how many violators have no license, no insurance and no Citizenship?
Those sound like voters...
They are making $500 X100= $50 a month, $600,000 in 12 months.
The courts keep most of that money, not the MPD.
There not making anything because these people are so broke they don't pay for plates or insurance.
That's good more fund for the city's project 👏
Red light runners can kill people.
There are 10 officers on this detail.
If they make $30/hour = $60k / year x 10 cops = $600k
Can they take those dangerous orange cones off the streets? I'm sick of them!
You're a single mother and don't know who the dad is
10 officers??? and its been going on for years ?????if people were dying every week they would fix the intersection ,,, but instead they write 5,000$ dollars of tickets every day??? !!!!!!!!! NOT about safety, its REVENUE ENHANCING !!!!
Pay attention, it’s the failure of Nevada dot construction. Failure of street markings. It’s not only people on cell phones.
Used to work in Van Nuys itcwas crazy early morning traffic on the streets moved at 55 mph so there were many accidents at intersections.
Red lights? Seriously? I see at least 25 people a day going through red lights…everyone seems to follow the 5 second rule….you can go though 5 seconds AFTER you see red
Why isn't Las Vegas targeting people that don't use their turn signals to merge?
You must be new here, people speed up to prevent you from merging if you use your signal
@jessehernandez5392 i use My signal for every stop and people on my ass while I try to turn.
Good job but Fix also the super long red lights
But yet we can’t get metro to patrol our street for racing after dark or our street lights fixed. Glad they have officers for this
Build wide long streets and this is what you get.
LV roads needs traffic calming and a diet.
Exactly. Paying 10 cops to patrol a horrendously designed intersection is madness when you could just use that same money to fix the design of the intersection.
Some drivers speed in neighborhoods, I don’t think a more narrow street will help.
@@edgarh252 Studies have found that people tend to drive the speed they feel comfortable driving regardless of the posted speed limit. That means when neighborhood streets are designed like highways, many drivers will go at highway speeds. Those streets are designed wrong. Neighborhood streets should be narrow to make it uncomfortable for drivers to go too fast. Basically the whole rest of the world has already figured this out and now design their streets narrower, but the United States is stuck in the 1950s for some reason and keeps designing streets way too wide. As a result we have far higher car death rates than the rest of the advanced world.
@@edgarh252 Statistics prove that it does reduce speed.
Who’s the sheriff in charge again? I may need to choose differently on the ballot this year
This is at every intersection. People don't give a damn. They'll run red lights, stop signs, etc...
I say yes to red light cameras.
How about the construction taking for months and months? Clark County is wrong as much as the reckless drivers.
Looks like road piracy to me…
You see the entire sections of street missing in those montages. These intersections are dangerous because the city keeps it in permanent construction with cones popping up in different sides every day. One day youre driving on the left lane, the next youre on the right again or sometimes youre down to 1 lane each way its a total mess
I am able to avoid all the madness down on the roads as i am a golden eagle 😂🦅
Arrest the designer behind the road design.
thanks
Vegas driving lights are what people from Michigan call Blunt lights 😂😂😂😂😂
72 hours jail. Impound fees. That might help. BUT, there isn't space or manpower to do that. Funding military programs leaves little for real needs.
You’re a goofball
🙌🏽🙌🏽💯💯Thank you!!
Make America BLINK again!🚔
Weird!! More people from Cali move to Nevada! Drivers get worse and act they are the only and most important person on the road!
They need be on desert inn and be on eastern. Worst drivers on those roads.
That’s because they have all the police on the strip around the strip and any tourist designated area. They are there to show the tourist they’re being protected and kept safe and to keep away any crimes away from the tourist before Metro was all over Vegas you couldn’t get away with crimes, now that they protect the tourist bring the money to the state
Mmmmm mmmm mmmm. Lots of tax revenue coming in
Patrol vista, CALIFORNIA I almost got ran over several times many of these people are negligent!!!!!
Other issue:
Ppl driving w/o license plates or expired paper plates
How can the public report these cars (like we can with smoggers)
Summer mos: increase in veh thefts by 10-15yr olds at night (secure ur cars!)
That’s all of Vegas
Entitled Drivers! No one is courteous on the roads anymore...everyone is too self centered.
With hope it will come to a stop? Not as long as people are driving cars. People are stupid.
That's very true. Drivers will make mistakes. If they make a mistake on a safe street that is slow and narrow, everyone will be fine. But if they make a mistake on those street-highways in Las Vegas, multiple people are likely to die. They need to fix the design of the streets to be much narrower and slower. If they change the intersection to a roundabout that would actually have a HIGHER throughput of people than it does now, and it would be a lot safer at the same time. Traffic engineers in the US are just really really really bad.
Id say start with getting all these cars off the road that have no tags. Ive seen cops look right at them and look the other way. These are the drivers that are driving recklessly. Until something is done about this and it is not ignored, danger will continue. The lack of enforcement is causing this...do something about no tags geniuses
maybe we should quit being California and actually fine and jail people.................
Wish they would do this in other places - especially So Cal... red lights are just a suggestion at this point!! Laws not enforced are not laws at all!!
Well at least some of the departments are trying to do something. Around here a red light or a stop sign just seems to be a suggestion
Aliens 👽 👽 👽 are definitely in Vegas Nevada 😉
So theyve figured out a good racket. Lots of red lights and jaywalking
They need cameras like they have in other cities. People will think twice after they come home and see a ticket in the mail with a clear shot of them running a red light or making a right turn on red. Especially those that let others drive their vehicles.
Washington DC have these cameras and caught 30,000 people in the first month
You guys need to leave to that city instead tbh
Red light cameras do no good, when it’s speeding and weaving that are the main issues.
Right on red is legal unless otherwise indicated.
Visible patrols and officer presence are the first lines of traffic enforcement. If you are not visible then this is what you get. The media reports and of course metro want to install traffic cameras to create more revenue for metro. The amount of fatalities isn’t that much if you consider we are a population of 2.3 million people. Yes it sucks for the loss of life but quite frankly those numbers are very low compared to other cities with the same size population we have.
Summerlynrealtor~ your city kills more people than an actual war zone do to reckless drivers or drunk drivers. Bad design, bad drivers, and higher population means your crime and fatalities are growing bigger and bigger. You are seriously stuck back in 1970.
"Loss of life isn't that much." Yes it is, it is higher per capita than almost every industrialized country.
100 people die EVERY DAY in America because of car crashes.
What they need to do is have more speed traps. They do a pretty good job at Maryland/DI by sunrise hospital. I see the motorcycle cops there a lot. But no where else really.
Speed bumps anyone? We have lots of them here in Tucson!
police to busy doing nothing WTF
yep
They have the money to enforce the laws it’s a party city the people know why any stop occurs
For how much CA spends on policing...."Not enough police" what a clown show
This is Nevada, captain crazy pants.
Of the 23 pedestrians, I bet none of them have a drivers license. They have no idea where vehicles could be approaching from, how to judge speed. What a traffic light will do next. I always see people crossing on a red then suddenly surprised when turning cars honk at them
The pedestrians were killed by reckless and negligent drivers who weren't paying attention. Crossing a street is not a crime. Ploying into a person with your heavy machinery IS a crime. Don't blame the victims. The bigger problem is the design of streets in Las Vegas. They are designed like racetracks and we wonder why people speed and die. Streets need to be much narrower.
Instead of re-engineering the traffic controls to be safer, police is using it to make money by issuing citations!!!! They're not solving the problem but capitalizing on the problem. I'm sure DOT can re-engineer the streets, traffic conrols to make it more safer!
You're correct. It's not just the traffic controls, but the design of the street and intersection in general. In other countries they have far lower traffic death rates because they design their streets to be safe. In Las Vegas they build every street like a racetrack and then wonder why people speed and die.
Bro I just got a ticket going 8 over.. you kidding me?
In Henderson?
Why u going so fast?
The California guy who is in charge of the redlights in the vally causes traffic build ups.
California drivers.
We need a requirement for them to take a behind the wheel driving test again before getting an NV license.
Your tax payer dollars in action....
What about the fast and furious after dark my street sounds like a racetrack after 10 pm
Enjoy the free show 🤷♂️
Finally
I live in that area, and the endless construction is terrible!
Got to love the non stop construction everywhere for no reason
But yet construction never ends. Double edge sword. You have the city focusing on the next casino instead of actually finishing road projects.
And of course let's have another race down the strip when we have a top race track with many courses but it's to far away from the casinos and then there boulder hwy at3 in the afternoon gridlock wait until they cut the thelanes in half
@rogerstarr4285 how stupid are you, exactly ? F1 is not Nascar they don't race at the speedway & speed Vegas is half the size as F1's shortest track 🤷♂️ go play on 95
You have Drunk Drivers but never changed the laws to punish people correctly in 50, years ~ today people run red lights because your poor design city was not developed with new streets or highways congested traffic in every light people are not going to wait even cops drink and drive and take red lights ~ build more alternative routes with no lights instead of pretending like you are still in 1955 when we know you have grown you built houses and casinos but you didn’t build more freeways or open roads.
The city wide open and fairly simple to navigate. Not sure if you’ve driven any where else in the US. Like NYC has only two lane parkways everywhere or Michigan where their roads are falling apart.
Lol
There's SOOOOOO MANY cars with no plates in vegas and cops don't do anything 💀 that's why our insurance be crazy
100% True
🤦🏼
I saw three cars in a row at flamingo and valley view just the other day. Not even a temp tag.
More laws wont help save lives...just increase revenue. Stop giving licenses to elderly or out of country folk that have no idea what our road laws are. We have too many from other states let alone other countries that have no idea where they are going or how to get there.
Great idea! Just close down the casinos and cancel all tourism. Las Vegas would be a ghost town in a week.
@@rayray8687 No it would mean create a train infrastructure like Europe and then have locals drive the ubers and cabs.
@@rayray8687 I live next to an Air B&B...the people that stay there have cars that look like they have been in accidents all their life.
Yes it will, people start losing their money and they will pay attention and think twice about breaking traffic laws.
@@FtanmoOfEtheirys lol no they just don't register their cars or get insurance. Have you ever been here?
Before we get enthused about traffic scofflaws being ticketed appropriately, one only needs to look at SoCal, and their policy of having such a high percentage of unpaid tickets- some individuals with hundreds. Naturally, if enough people do something like stiff the city, county and state for unpaid tickets, and the usual steps taken don't faze the dedicated scofflaws, in the end the Left in Cal just dismisses the tickets based on income- if you're a scofflaw who has no job, and/or lives weeks to week, well guess what- YOU WIN again in Third World America, because that's how the left does things, and make no mistake, they're in control.
This isn’t California. Not as much traffic or people.
@@alwillk Give it time- there's been a migration from SoCal to here since COVID, and given the high taxes for EVERYTHING there, this town, especially with loud and bright things which are appealing to this segment, they're here in droves now. Outside of the tourist corridor, there's tons of California plates.
Cali drivers with nevada plates.
Over 100 citations in one morning and $500 each total about more than $50000? What a ripoffs, just deduct it from your tax each April...
The root of the issue is how long these lights take to switch.
No, it's not. The lights take so long due to the volume of traffic. They have to let the lights run longer in order for traffic to flow properly. EVERYone sits at the lights an equal amount of time.
@@joconnell8145 exactly and the more impatient drivers you get
@@joconnell8145 Why not just let the switch take 1 hour each way then? This is the problem with your logic.
There is no problem with my logic@@_.-AAA-._, the problem is you do not comprehend logic.
@@joconnell8145 and you have no sense of time efficiency as it relates to traffic.
Having been born and raised in Vegas 50 years. The city wanted so bad to become "major" city and respected and admired such as LA,San Diego,NY,Dallas,Miami,Tampa etc etc that the city leaders and politicians took too much on with trying to make this a big city that they did not address infrastucure. The public transpo in this city was virtually non exixtant. Its come a long way but no where near the amount of planning for such an influx of ppl moving here in droves for last 30 years. The city 25 years ago never had any type of area in town that was referred as a "district".you know that big city term where legit districts are known. 15 years ago they started referring to the seedy downtown as the "Arts"district lol. Because why there were some citizens on fri nights who used to be artists and do lil pop ups down by the seedy casinos. I remember it mid 90s i was traveling on I15 and it said " Chinatown District"next 2 lefts. The District was literally 3,4 chinese or thai restaurants in a strip mall. That.was.it. The Chinatown district. Lol. Getting prosports team majorccoup ill give them that bjt outside of Golden Knights who is very local and was an expansion team so literally feels like our team.tbeyve had great success in such short time. The Raiders? No thank you. Bunch of transplants from Oakland who are rabid and makes for great tv but has been very underwhelming and feels like just a transplanted team.
That Nevada Education is showing 🤷♂️
Remember if you get a ticket from a cop that had a spotter, both cops have to show up to court. if its just the ticketing cop then its here say.
Impatient and discourteous drivers, I watch drivers get more reckless by the day. SO many Cali & ILL plates….🙄. People just don’t care anymore, it’s all about me my & I. Especially from the younger ones…. Zero courtesy or consideration for others these days. Very few can locate the signal indicator or even care to use them. Honk and they play the victim. So over the drivers here….
all this does is make the city money ...none of these tickets keep people safe
Another comment from someone who despises personal accountability for their actions and has to deflect.
@@robertr3470 because the racket of tickets and extortion means you know that i don t take accountability for my personal actions and how the hell would you know me at all ???
@@youmad1313 Because only a person who wants to not have rules applied to them, will try to discredit forms of accountability. Let's face it, there would not be any tickets to get, or cops to hire if people didn't die in crashes.
So ya, I know exactly who you are.
@@youmad1313 "because the racket of tickets and extortion..."
Getting a ticket for running a red light isn't extortion.
Here's the secret:
DON'T RUN RED LIGHTS!
They do it for the money

Cops squeezing money time of year
Is the fake news voice really necessary in 2024? Just use your normal voice for god’s sake
The problem is the people who are blocking the passing lanes, and they aren't even mentioned.
If the police did their job in the first place, this wouldn't be a problem now. They are either complacent, lazy or both
It's vegas drivers, you would need 100,000 more cops. Too many tards driving.
I commend our police force for keeping up with the craziness 🫡🇺🇸✝️
My concern is why are so many cops overweight??? Too many lazy cops nowadays just want to skip the gym and rely on their gun to stop a criminal.
Your saying Something a Criminal would say
