Letter for November 14, 2012, Clark County Government Hearing
Please Take Action
Contact your government representatives today.
The scenic byway through Red Rock Canyon is becoming a dangerous construction, commuter, and commercial high speed highway as irresponsible growth in the Southwest pushes more traffic through the canyon. County Commissioners approved a huge master-planned community against the recommendations of design staff who denied it based on insufficient roads to handle the increased traffic. Highway 160 has always been the commuter highway between Pahrump and Las Vegas, and now it is so clogged up, drivers are forced to go up to 30 miles out of their way, through Red Rock Canyon’s once-peaceful scenic byway to get to Las Vegas.
Please help us return Red Rock Canyon to the peaceful retreat we have all learned to love.

Nevada is one of just five states that mandates motorists should move to the left lane when available to pass cyclists. This mandate helps keep Southern Nevada cyclists safe #itsthelaw ... See MoreSee Less

Mandates...mandates....only good when ramifications happen when they are not followed, and I don't mean people getting hit on bikes. I MEAN PEOPLE GOING TO JAIL!!! We too have the same problems.
Great job!!!
I wouldn't ride a bike anywhere in this town, or cross a street, these drivers are nuts!!! No pedestrians and cyclists are safe
I always do!

So cars need to move into on coming traffic It’s only 2 lanes
I wish bikers would ride single file, though; they'd be safer doing just that.
Need to also include language for not riding two or three deep on the shoulder.
Bravo 👏
There should be a separate bike road several feet to the side of the road, about the distance as the sign.
