In 2024, there were 412 fatalities on Nevada’s roads. As of Jan. 31, 2025, there have been 39 lives lost on Nevada’s roads. Speeding continues to be one of the top contributing factors of these fatalities. Speeding isn’t just about going faster than the posted speed limit — speeding includes driving too fast during bad weather conditions such as rain, ice, and snow. Speeding jeopardizing your safety and the safety of others on the road.
