Paving the way to the mall

This week readers want to know about the construction on U.S. Highway 95, between Russell and Sunset roads; whether there are any laws governing jogging or walking in the streets; and who handles road kill in the valley.

Who says air, water are free?

This week readers want to know if there is a law requiring service stations to provide free air and water for vehicles; what does a horn violation offense mean; do we have to put the registration sticker in the top right hand corner of our license plates; and we get an update on when the Lake Mead Boulevard interchange with the Las Vegas Beltway is going to open.

Avoid auto repair problems

I’m pretty skeptical when it comes to mechanics. To an extent, I think we all are.

For I-15, no pain, no gain

This week readers want to know what is causing the slowdown on Interstate 15 near Russell Road; is there a law against televisions being installed on dashboards of motor vehicles; and when are they going to activate the message signs on U.S. Highway 95 north?

THE LATEST
Eco-friendly bikes can be shvitz-free

There seem to be more cyclists on valley roads lately, and they’re not all wearing tight yellow spandex.

Project will give relief to commuters

This week the Road Warrior goes spanning Las Vegas and answers questions from almost every corner of the valley. Readers want to know if the Lamb Boulevard exit off the Las Vegas Beltway is open yet in North Las Vegas. Is there an extension planned in Henderson for Warm Springs Road, from Boulder Highway to Lake Mead Parkway? When will Clark County build a bridge on Decatur Boulevard to go over the railroad tracks in the southern valley? And why were taxicabs dropping off passengers at a pickup point at McCarran International Airport on Sunday?

Airport thieves get left holding bag

You know the anxious feeling you get while you wait for your luggage to appear on the carousel at an airport? The one that says your luggage has been lost.

Reopening: Next Week For H Street

This week readers want to know when H Street will be reopened at Bonanza Road; whether there is any way to fix the ramp meters that control traffic flow onto Interstate 15; and whether they are ever going to fix Stewart Avenue between Maryland Parkway and Las Vegas Boulevard.

Drivers, not bus shelters, kill

As vehicles sped by, Mike Gilmore admitted that he worried one would come up on the sidewalk and crash into the bus shelter where he was waiting.

Construction, connections and cell phones

This week readers want an update on the construction on Blue Diamond Road; will the connection between Decatur and Silverado Ranch boulevards ever be made; and are there any plans to make the message signs on Interstate 15 accessible on mobile phones?

$8 billion refuels road projects

It was a scary couple of days for transportation officials across the nation.

Installing Proper Channels

This week readers want to know what is up with all that construction on Elkhorn Road west of Jones Boulevard; whether Henderson officials are ever going to turn on the traffic light near Coronado High School; and whether we are all supposed to get new identification cards from the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles.

No Adjustments Necessary

This week readers want to know whether there are any plans to redo the roads outside the Eastside Cannery now that there’s all that traffic out there, are there any plans to widen Grand Canyon Drive, and when will the construction on the bridges on the Las Vegas Beltway, near south Decatur Boulevard, be finished? And the Road Warrior answers a bonus fourth question about the state of the Beltway at Far Hills Avenue.
