I use DI quite a bit as it flows pretty well also just like Sahara. North and South I like the flow of Jones compared to others.

I agree with Jones over the others. We go to a club on Sahara frequently, and take the 215 to Jones rather than Rainbow. Even though I think the number of lights is the same, for some reason Jones seems to be quicker.

I'll agree with that, Sahara never gave me any problems, neither did DI

Flamingo was the worst however...especially east of the strip

If I use DI, I have to cross Boulder. That section is always extremely busy. I'm not a big fan of that section under the strip that you can't get off for 2 miles. Between Maryland pkwy and Boulder, DI isn't too bad. On the western side it's not bad either. It's those 2 points that discourage me. That and I was hit on DI in December.

As a former Vegas resident I miss how light the traffic was in Vegas. New York and North Jersey is a complete nightmare and I will agree with everyone who claims Norther VA has the worst traffic. I95 in Norther VA is a disaster.

The roads are nice and wide in Vegas too.

The issue with Vegas is that there are a lot of distractions all around. Even off the strip. There's a lot of signage everywhere competing for attention. Also, the traffic signals in Vegas seem to take FOREVER to change. A RED light seems to stay red for six - seven minutes before changing to green.

Yeah I think Las Vegas locals are very spoiled when it comes to traffic and some take it for granted... otherwise I do not miss the California traffic myself.

Speaking of traffic:

Lake Meade at Del Webb/Hills Center Dr.

If this isn't evidence of bad driving, I don't know what is. Straight road, perfectly dry conditions, low speed limit, still flipped over.

Don't know how it happened. 45mph, but everyone drives Lake Meade closer to 55-60. I'm thinking someone ran a light and got clipped at one of the corners of the car.

Over we go!
