Corridor Overview
US-95 South — transitioning to I-11 heading toward Henderson and Boulder City — carries the southbound flow for northwest valley residents heading to the airport, Henderson, and the south valley without navigating through downtown and the I-15 casino district. The corridor sees particularly heavy volumes during the morning reverse-commute and during evening events at Allegiant Stadium. Construction activity along this corridor has been substantial during 2023-2024, directly impacting crash volumes.
Notable Statistics & Trends
Like US-95 North, the southbound direction has seen dramatic crash increases: 279 in 2022, 509 in 2023, 565 in 2024 — a 103% increase over two years, confirming the construction-related explanation for both directions. Five fatalities in 2022 dropped to zero in 2023 before rebounding to 3 in 2024. Alcohol involvement nearly doubled from 19 in 2022 to 39 in 2024, a trend worth monitoring as the corridor returns to normal post-construction conditions.
