It's an effort to improve public safety along the Las Vegas Strip by keeping certain walkways free of congestion. The Clark County Board of Commissioners recently approved an ordinance making it a misdemeanor crime for people to stop along pedestrian bridges on the Strip.

Starting in 2024, it could be against Clark County rules for people including panhandlers and performers to stop traffic on pedestrian bridges.

It’s common for visitors to stop and snap pictures on pedestrian bridges that rise above Las Vegas Boulevard with the lights of the Strip in the background.

According to the proposed ordinance, it would be "unlawful" for any person to stop, stand, or do anything to cause others to pause in those zones. The ordinance goes on to state that the measure is being proposed due to public safety concerns.

Tourists view the 15 pedestrian bridges towering over Las Vegas Boulevard as the perfect vantage point to get the perfect shot of the Las Vegas Strip. Law enforcement, instead, views them as safety concerns when not enough people are flowing in the walkway.
