Lane and shoulder closures will take place on U.S. 95 at Walker Lake beginning Tuesday, Nov. 12 as NDOT installs speed feedback signs.
Intermittent lane closures and speed reductions will take place on U.S. 95 at Walker Lake 6 a.m.-6 p.m. weekdays Nov. 12 through early December. Traffic flaggers will alternate directions of travel through the work zone, with moderate travel delays to be anticipated.
The road work schedule is subject to change without notice.
NDOT will install two radar speed feedback signs on both sides of the Walker Lake community; one in each direction of U.S. 95. One sign will be located just north of Colorado Drive, and the other will be located south of Walker Lake Boat Harbor.
Using radar, the signs display vehicle travel speeds back to the motorist, along with the posted speed limit. The speed feedback signs help raise motorist awareness to slow down if speeding.
Tragically, speeding and impairment are leading causes of Nevada traffic deaths. NDOT’s Speed Management Action Plan outlines further strategies to improve motorist compliance with speed limits and reduce speed-related crashes statewide. NDOT will closely evaluate additional traffic calming options when future roadway resurfacing takes place on U.S. 95 in the Walker Lake area.
