Clark County fatalities down 25 from last year as enforcement, road design improvements show results
Days after a new fence was installed along Boulder Highway between Desert Inn and Flamingo, a driver drove right through it and tore a new hole. The hole serves as the latest in a series of challenges for the project, which sought out the new fencing to repair other holes ripped by previous drivers.
The corridor, roughly 530 yards long, has a posted speed limit of 45 mph and no marked crosswalks between 28th Street and Mojave Road. Police said all three pedestrians were taken to University Medical Center following the crashes. Doctors at UMC see the consequences firsthand of crashes around the valley, not just on East Charleston.

A metal fence installed along a deadly stretch of Boulder Highway has dropped pedestrian deaths from five per year to zero on that portion, prompting officials to expand the safety project.
The speed limit along that stretch of Charleston Boulevard is 45 mph. Data from the Traffic Safety Research Group at UNLV shows the risk of death for pedestrians increases sharply as speeds rise.
