These are the 50 most dangerous intersections in the Las Vegas Valley

LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is sharing more insight into the most dangerous sections of road in our valley.

On Wednesday, the department shared its rankings of the five most collision-prone intersections in each area command across Clark County, pinpointing driver danger zones in 10 different neighborhoods.

Police stress that the top contributing factors in deadly collisions are failure to yield the right-of-way, failure to maintain a lane, and speeding. All three are factors LVMPD has highlighted in recent efforts to crack down on reckless driving throughout Las Vegas.

As of December 2025, these are the most dangerous intersections in Las Vegas:

As part of a concerted crackdown on reckless driving in recent months, LVMPD has previously identified top intersections of concern throughout Clark County.

Channel 13 traffic reporter Guy Tannenbaum highlighted these insights when LVMPD released similar lists in May 2025 and September 2025. Three intersections that appeared on those lists were also highlighted on Wednesday: Tropicana Avenue and Jones Boulevard, Charleston and Decatur boulevards, and Maryland Parkway and Flaming Road — putting them in contention for the most dangerous intersections in all of Southern Nevada.
