Las Vegas is known for its city lights, entertainment, and 24/7 excitement, but it also has a dark side when it comes to road safety. The lives of 412 were tragically lost on Nevada roadways in 2024, according to the Nevada Office of Traffic Safety statewide federal report. That marks a 5.64% increase from the previous year, and unfortunately, these numbers continue to climb into 2025. Contributing to these sobering statistics are dangerous intersections that are often scenes of crashes, injuries, and fatalities.
Dangerous Intersections to Stay Cautious in Las Vegas
Flamingo Rd. and Rainbow Blvd
This intersection is notorious for high-speed collisions and traffic congestion. These accidents are mainly due to the high volume of people traveling through. With the mix of storefronts, residential neighborhoods, and heavy pedestrian foot traffic, this often creates slow-moving traffic conditions, which tests the patience of even the most seasoned driver.
Sahara Ave. and Decatur Blvd.
These crossroads have seen some of the most severe spikes in accidents in Las Vegas. It has been reported that the multiple lanes, confusing left turn signals, and high traffic volumes are the contributing factors that often result in rear-end collisions and impact crashes at alarming rates at this intersection.
Charleston Blvd. and Rainbow Blvd
A hotspot for accidents, the Charleston and Rainbow intersection is plagued by frequent red-light runners and limited visibility during certain hours. The majority of the accidents here involve drivers failing to yield during turns.
Tropicana Ave. and Rainbow Blvd
This intersection serves as a connector between major highways and retail destinations. This section sees constant gridlock and aggressive driving. Accidents here often involve multiple vehicles, and fender benders are almost a daily occurrence.
Boulder Hwy, Nellis Blvd. and Flamingo Rd
This complex three-way junction is among the most difficult to navigate in the Las Vegas Valley. Vehicles enter and exit from multiple angles, and with minimal pedestrian safeguards, this intersection is often a scene for high-speed crashes and pedestrian accidents.
Crashes Are Not Just Numbers, They Are Lives…
The 2024 fatality report is not just a collection of data points. Behind every number is a person, a member of someone’s family, and a life altered by a moment on the road. With traffic-related deaths up over 5% from last year and a steady upward trend continuing to 2025, Nevada drivers must stay vigilant out of the road.
