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. First installed in the 1990s, the pedestrian overpass has become commonplace and provides flow across the Strip without bringing automobile traffic to a standstill. This one connects Planet Hollywood and Cosmopolitan hotel and casinos.
