US-95 North

US-95 is the valley’s other major freeway spine, running northwest from the Spaghetti Bowl interchange through North Las Vegas toward the Nevada Test Site and beyond. For locals, the 95 is the commuter freeway that I-15 is not — it serves Summerlin and northwest valley residents heading toward downtown and midtown employment. The Spaghetti Bowl interchange, where I-15 and US-95 merge, is one of the most complex highway interchanges in the western United States and generates its own concentrated crash geography.

The crash trend on US-95 North is sharply upward: 258 in 2022, 538 in 2023, 603 in 2024 — a 134% increase in two years, the steepest growth of any major corridor in the dataset. This correlates strongly with construction and lane reconfiguration activity during 2023-2024. Hit-and-runs at 333 (24%) are elevated. Six fatalities spread evenly across three years. The explosion in crash volume is the key story here and demands monitoring as construction phases conclude.
