State engineers have taken a look at it and decided what we'd do to alleviate some of the problems we have there by reducing it to 45 mph. |
State Route 160, we've been talking about for a while. We think the meeting was important in that it brought all the parties together to make sure we're on the same sheet of music and so Las Vegas knows it's a primary concern, with all the growth in the southwest. |
The cross issue is generally unrelated to this. But we understand and sympathize with those families that have had a loss. |
The increased traffic caused by the growing population in Pahrump. You have increased development along the corridor, around Mountain's Edge (master planned community). You have the construction concerns between Rainbow (Boulevard) and I-15. |
The iron rods were still in very good condition. We supplemented them with a few more rods. Everything else seemed to work just perfectly. |
There are a lot of considerations, especially on a road that is as traveled as I-15. |
There are any number of variables that come into play. |
There was a lot of truck traffic. You don't expect trucks to use alternate routes. But there was a lot less automobile traffic than you'd normally see there. |
This is just the beginning. This isn't going to take days or hours to complete, this is going to take weeks and maybe even months to complete. And I think you can be absolutely certain more charges are going to be laid. |
Traffic is increasing here in Southern Nevada. There's more of a need. |
U.S. 95 is going to have a number of closures over the course of the next year. This is the real McCoy. |
We are concerned with the growth that's out there. The speed study will take that into consideration, as everything else. It doesn't necessarily mean that the speed limit will be lowered. |
We don't anticipate any concrete problems similar to this. |
We hope those crosses won't be a distraction to the motorists. |
We hope those crosses won't be a distraction to the motorists. As long as those signs don't provide a safety problem or distraction to motorists, we generally allow those. |
