Pedestrian and automobile traffic on the Las Vegas Strip, Las Vegas, Nevada: digital photograph

Date

2017-02-28

Description

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. Here tourists and traffic use the same space between the entrances to the Linq project and the Caesars Palace property.
