What police are doing as bicycle fatalities in the valley are on the rise
Officials say bicycle fatalities are on the rise in Clark County, mostly involving commuters riding to work or school. Many of these riders hop on a bus as part of their trip, and that's why police are targeting enforcement along the routes carrying the most bikes. That includes Tropicana, Flamingo, Sahara, Charleston, and Eastern.
This Wednesday, officers will patrol Charleston Boulevard east and west, with support from multiple agencies. Nevada Law requires drivers to give cyclists at least three feet of space, merging left when safe to do so.
So far it's been so good on the roads this morning. We are seeing a couple of surface street crashes but nothing that is majorly impacting traffic, so you should be able to allow normal time for your morning commute.
