Crosswalk installed 18 months ago after pedestrian fatalities.

Las Vegas is testing an AI-powered lighting system designed to make crosswalks safer and pedestrians more visible to drivers.

63% of pedestrian deaths happen where there is no crosswalk, according to Nevada Traffic Safety crash numbers.This week on Flamingo, just east of Maryland Parkway, FOX5 saw people crossing the road one at a time, two at a time, and three at a time, well outside of any marked crosswalk.

Las Vegas’ mark of 3.46 pedestrian deaths per 100,000 is the fifth-highest in the study, trailing only Albuquerque, New Mexico (4.41), Mesa, Arizona (3.6), Phoenix, Arizona (3.6) and Tucson, Arizona (3.6), respectively. Its walk score is the 13th-lowest in the study. According to a news release by Kuru, the city’s walk score reflects “limited pedestrian infrastructure amid high tourism traffic and busy roadways.”
