Motorcyclists in Southern Nevada and across the state are dying in traffic crashes at a higher rate this year than in 2024 — a grim figure underscored by at least eight more rider deaths in the state since early April.

From abandoned rental scooters cluttering resort sidewalks to teenage motorcyclists performing dangerous stunts in county parks, Clark County officials are developing comprehensive solutions to address safety concerns with electric scooters, bicycles and motorcycles.

Hit-and-run crashes are on the rise across the valley, with over 500 incidents reported in the past year, according to a Metro Police map. Local safety advocates are urging more stringent measures to address the growing trend.

Another video of a group of young kids on electric bikes in the valley is making the rounds online. This time, they seem to be getting way too close to a traditional bicyclist. Some say they’re driving recklessly. FOX5 wanted to hear from bike riders on safety concerns they have when trying to get around town.

Nevada lawmakers discussed a bill Tuesday that would bring automated traffic enforcement cameras to road construction sites.

So far this year, Las Vegas Metro Police have responded to 35 deadly car crashes. A new bill is hoping to reduce that number.
