Traffic Hazards at Busy Las Vegas Intersections
Major intersections in Las Vegas, such as S Rainbow Blvd and W Tropicana Ave, experience heavy traffic throughout the day, increasing the risk of collisions. High vehicle volume, frequent lane changes, and distracted driving are common contributors to crashes in these areas.
According to the Nevada Department of Public Safety (NDPS), many accidents in the state result in serious injuries that require extensive medical care. Common causes of urban crashes include:
- Congested roadways – Heavy traffic leads to sudden stops and rear-end collisions.

- Driver inattention – Looking at a phone, adjusting the radio, or other distractions contribute to many accidents.
- Failure to obey traffic signals – Running red lights or stop signs is a leading cause of intersection crashes.
