Increased Risks of Late-Night Collisions
Intersections like E Eldorado Ln and Paradise Rd in Las Vegas are common sites for crashes due to high traffic volume, pedestrian activity, and speeding. Late-night driving presents additional risks, including:
- Reduced visibility – Darkness makes it harder to spot other vehicles or hazards.
- Driver fatigue – Tired drivers are more likely to make mistakes or experience slower reaction times.
- Impaired driving – Alcohol and drug-related crashes are more common at night.
The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) reports thousands of crashes statewide each year, with many occurring in urban areas. Speeding, distracted driving, and failure to yield are among the top contributing factors.
Drivers can reduce their risk by staying alert, following traffic laws, and avoiding distractions. Extra caution is especially important when traveling late at night or through busy intersections.
