The Traffic Engineering section oversees the orderly development of the City’s transportation system. The goal is to achieve a transportation system that will address demand and capacity, employ appropriate technologies, and join transit, roadway and bicycle/pedestrian facilities into a safe, efficient and environmentally sensitive network.

This section is also responsible for determining future multi-modal transportation needs and the most practical way to achieve them. This section performs a variety of functions including:

• Development Impact Analysis
• Traffic Study Review
• Transportation Modeling
• Development Review
• Speed Studies
• Vehicle Classification Studies
• Warrant Analyses
• Traffic Counts

It is also an active participant in regional transportation planning activities which include the Nuclear Waste Repository Program, Regional Transportation Commission, and Safe Communities Partnership.

Bicycling in North Las Vegas

The Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) of Southern Nevada established the 2006 bicycle route system map. The system map is for the City of North Las Vegas and neighboring communities in the Valley.

The department recently signed "Bicycle Route" designations for Decatur Boulevard, Carey Avenue and Pecos Road to comply with the RTC system map. These are "Share the Road" facilities in which the bicyclist shall use the 14 foot wide, shared use lane or break-down lane, for directional travel.

Please remember that cyclists are encouraged to wear a bike helmet when riding, and to travel with motor vehicle traffic flow. For more information, please contact Ish Garza, City Traffic Engineer, at (702) 633-1224.
