Citing "traffic safety" as a key concern for east Las Vegas, Clark County Commissioner Tick Segerblom said that "this new traffic signal will make the intersection easier for kids in the surrounding areas to travel to and from school." Commissioner Segerblom also placed an emphasis on the county's commitment to improving the area "to make the roads safer for everyone."
The traffic signal has been in the works since this April, concluding about 5 months after construction, according to a Clark County representative. It is estimated that 17,000 vehicles travel through the intersection each day, according to the county.
