Navigating Nevada

The journey is half the fun, but can also be a challenge. We've included links here to help minimize the hassle & maximize the ease - maybe even the fun of getting to & around the Silver State. 

The links on this page will help you get around or through local and statewide traffic jams / road work. Silver State highways and byways make for tricky travel for recreation seekers & residents alike.

The street you start down may suddenly jut to the right or left without warning, narrow, turn to dirt, or come to a sudden end.

That "street" may not even BE a street, but a driveway to a private home or business. Expect the unexpected. Don’t bother getting angry or frustrated. Just turn around or wait patiently for the line of taxis or Ubers you may find yourself stuck behind to get moving. It will be nothing but a memory before you know it.

If you have experiences or tips to share about traveling Vegas or other Nevada roadways, feel free to share. Thank you!

RED ALERT: Speeding & wrong-way drivers are a serious issue in Nevada. The fact that alcohol is legally sold 24 hours a day in most of Nevada certainly plays a role. ​

STAY FOCUSED! Scan intersections as you approach - look both ways - search for impaired drivers barreling aimlessly toward destruction. Be extra vigilant when using on & off-ramps. Be ready for anything. Give yourself plenty of space & time to maneuver. And please don't drink and drive. Some folks who thought they could get away with it are now serving long stretches in prison. Or a lonely graveyard.
