While these roads will be open during times outside of Hot Track, lanes may be reduced, so it is strongly encouraged to limit usage to essential travel only.
Expect long delays and plan your routes accordingly.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department suggests Maryland Parkway as the route to avoid race-related closures.
You can also get traffic alerts sent directly to your phone by texting F1LV to 31996.
