US-95 & I-15 - Las Vegas, Nevada - 2020/03/09

Drivelapse video of US-95 and Interstate 15 heading south from the western edge of the city all of the way to the southern edge of the city. This dusk view of the highway shows a great view of the Las Vegas strip, particularly from the ramp that links US-95 to I-15 South

[@Goodlandchugs]

That interchange going to the I-15 South is one of the best interchanges I’ve seen

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

4:19 Project Neon is amazing. I mean, the new ramps help manage traffic as well as the HOV lanes linking I-15 from the south and US 95 from the west.

6:37 Did you see the old car? I think it's a 1967 Ford Mustang

Those might be the largest - and most frequent - LED road signs I have ever seen. Those things were huge, and like every 500 m. Pretty impressive! Las Vegas has a sweet network for the size it is.

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

those signs are neat. Kind of unfortunately none of the signs were illuminated on either of the drives that I did through Las Vegas. It would have been nice to see them in action.

@@AsphaltPlanet1 good thing you didnt, they are usually only on for major accidents, and thatd have ruined your video

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

US 95 and I-15 through Las Vegas have great freeway designs. Try to compare those with the QEW/403 concurrency through Burlington and Oakville and compare their wide number of lanes and including HOV lanes.

Great Video! I wish I can film there one day!

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

I hope you get to -- Vegas is a neat city.

Nice road trip as always, but I have a small question:
How did you manage to come back in Canada before the USA/Canada border closes due to COVID-19 situation?

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

I returned a few days before covid really became an issue. The border didn't close for several more weeks after I had returned.

What is the moapa Valley like in 2022?

[@brandenwiebe7507]

Out of all the cities you’ve driven through, which one do you think has the best freeway system?

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

that's a harder question that it seems. Off the top of my head, I really like the networks in Dallas, Phoenix and San Diego. But a lot of cities have freeways that I really like to drive in them.

[@tinaduong5131]

@@AsphaltPlanet1 Yes, there’s only one! You can upload more Vegas videos if possible.

With the smaller amount of rain LV has, I wish they weren't using so many of these dots as discontinued white lanes, I think it puts a stain on an otherwise beautiful road in which they understood the importance of highway aesthetics. It has a lot of potential as it's one of the fastest growing city in USA, I just wonder if these are still making the mistake of splitting communities apart and if the city is over sprawling like Phoenix and Houston.

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

oh really? i really like the botts dots for lane markings. They used to be really common in California too -- but Caltrans has started phasing them out in recent years because apparently they are confusing to autopilot features in newer cars.

Las Vegas is a large not that large as Los Angeles or New York but a decent size metropolitan area

[@joshuas7160]

Reminds me of central expressway in dallas

[@Houlej713]

Western cities have such modern freeway systems

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

desert cities in particular have great freeway systems.

[@bassdrumflextime1253]

Yeah they do

How is the wavey on the 95?lol

Nice! I like the Hwy and Exit signs you made. What camera and editor?
