Date

2017-02-28

Providing security and access to both automobile and pedestrian traffic is handled differently along Las Vegas Boulevard and has changed over the years on the Strip. Although pedestrian overpasses provide a safe way to cross the Strip, the many entrances and exits from casinos have created the need for crosswalks that delay traffic along the tourist corridor.
