Nevada State Police, law enforcement statewide crack down on pedestrian related crashes
The Nevada State Police Highway Patrol is partnering with other participating Nevada law enforcement agencies in the Joining Forces program and is urging pedestrians and drivers to be aware of each other and to share the road responsibly.
The joint enforcement began Oct. 13 and will continue through Oct. 31, 2023. The Joining Forces law enforcement team will be issuing citations to pedestrians and motorists who are violating traffic safety laws.
Most people are a pedestrian at least once a day. In 2022, 89 pedestrians lost their lives in pedestrian crashes on Nevada’s roadways. In an effort to reverse this number, Troopers will be looking for traffic offenses made by pedestrians and drivers alike.
The Nevada State Police Highway Patrol remains dedicated to bringing the number of fatalities on our roadways to zero through promoting safe pedestrian and motorist behavior. Whether you are in a vehicle or on foot, stay alert and safely share the road.
