Risks of Nighttime Driving on Nevada’s Highways
Interstate 15 is one of Nevada’s most heavily traveled routes, often prone to accidents due to high speeds, driver inattention, and congestion. Areas near Jean, NV, are particularly vulnerable during nighttime hours when reduced visibility and driver fatigue increase the likelihood of collisions.
The Nevada Department of Transportation identifies several leading causes of highway crashes, including:
- Speeding: Higher speeds reduce reaction times and exacerbate crash severity.
- Distracted Driving: Engaging in activities like texting or eating while driving can lead to preventable collisions.
- Fatigue: Nighttime driving often results in reduced alertness, increasing the risk of accidents.
To reduce your risk while driving on highways:
- Drive Defensively: Stay alert and maintain a safe following distance.
- Follow Speed Limits: Adjust your speed based on traffic and road conditions, especially at night.
- Avoid Distractions: Keep your focus on the road and minimize in-car interruptions.
