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. Getting people to use the overpasses has required installation of fencing in some areas, like this one outside of Planet Hollywood hotel and casino at East Harmon Avenue. In the background is the pedestrian overpass connecting the City Center project with the Cosmopolitan hotel and casino.
