LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – Good news and bad news in a viewer email update from earlier this year about dangerous left turns at the southwest end of the valley.

In May, Alan wrote:

“I have seen many drivers eastbound on State Route 160 (heading to Las Vegas) making illegal left turns onto Avery Street just so they can shortcut onto State Route 159, all because they don’t want to turn left on the highway. street. Highway 159 traffic light in 20 seconds! “The Nevada Department of Transportation should post a ‘no left turn’ sign and police should ticket violators.”

Well, here we are 6 months later, and Alan has new video showing that NDOT has posted a “no left turn/no U-turn” sign. Unfortunately, that same video shows people still doing the exact same thing.

Alan, thank you for your tireless work on this. Now, get the Nevada State Police to spend some time informing drivers like this that illegal shortcuts can hurt their wallets. And I sure would hate to talk about a critical injury or fatal accident in that place.

Buckle up, drive safely, and hang up that phone!
