LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – A new traffic study is a potential key to unlocking Henderson’s next steps on addressing the worst intersections in the city.
During a regular council meeting, the Henderson City Council reviewed a presentation by city staff and consultants from AtkinsRéalis. The study was initially hailed as a good indicator of city management.
“What the stakeholders are saying is, don’t make it ugly. Make it nice,” Jamie Archambeau, an AtkinsRéalis project manager, said. “And you are doing a great job.”
Through 2018 to 2022 crash reports and walking audits, the study revealed the following top problem areas for the city.
Intersections with highest concentration of car crashes*:
- Sunset Road & Stephanie Street
- Eastern Avenue & St Rose Parkway
*9,936 total crashes, 18 fatal crashes, 181 serious injury crashes
Intersections with highest concentration of bicycle related crashes*:
- Sunset Road & Stephanie Street
- I-215 & Stephanie Street
- Eastern Avenue & St Rose Parkway
*256 total crashes, 3 fatal, 22 serious injury crashes
Intersections with highest concentration of pedestrian related crashes*:
- Boulder Highway & Lake Mead Parkway
- Sunset Road & Stephanie Street
- I-215 & Green Valley Parkway
*237 total crashes, 11 fatal crashes, 34 serious injury crashes
