What's Driving You Crazy? – Replacing obsolete freeway signs
It was months ago that the maps on your phone showed US95 was renamed to include I-11, dropping I-515.
That was the easy part.
The work of replacing actual signs is a much longer process.
While many have been changed, NDOT has a lot more to go, focusing this week around the Spaghetti Bowl.
To minimize disruptions to traffic, the work is being done between 9pm and 5am.
Tonight it'll be the southbound freeway with reduced lanes between Valley View and Rancho, as well as the northbound side for that short stretch from Las Vegas Blvd up to the Spaghetti Bowl.
To see the list of all this week's work, click – – – > HERE.
Buckle up, drive carefully – and, please put down that phone!

‘I'm running,' Cannizzaro announces she will run for Nevada Attorney General's seat
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Nevada Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro announced on Tuesday that she is starting her campaign for the attorney general's office in 2026. She is the second major candidate to do so. 'Our leaders should be focused on making Nevada safer and stronger, but the Trump administration and Congress have continued their assault on ordinary Nevadans, cutting Medicaid and funding for our schools, attacking Planned Parenthood and reproductive rights, and raising the cost of energy, housing and groceries,' she said in a news release. Cannizzaro is a lifelong Nevadan, a former prosecutor, and the first woman to serve as Majority Leader of the Nevada State Senate. Her announcement also included a YouTube video. Cannizzaro will go up against state Treasurer Zach Conine in the democratic primary. The former attorney and consultant was the first major candidate when he announced in May that he would seek the attorney general's office. According to his campaign website, he is 'running to be Nevada's next Attorney General because Nevadans deserve someone who isn't afraid of rolling up their sleeves to take on big fights.' It also states, 'Whether it's protecting Nevadans from overreach by the federal government, leveling the playing field for workers, families, and small businesses, or delivering results for Nevadans who are struggling.' Current Attorney General Aaron Ford announced his plans to challenge Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

New Nevada traffic ticket laws to go into effect
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Nevada lawmakers unanimously passed and Gov. Joe Lombardo signed a proposal to amend the state's traffic-ticket system. Senate Bill 359, which will become law Oct. 1, gives courts flexibility to reduce the amount a driver needs to pay upfront. Courts interpreted the current law as a driver having to pay the full amount of a ticket before a hearing. The 8 News Now Investigators first looked into the issue this spring when a retiree had to pay her $417 ticket in full before her court hearing. Before Senate Bill 359, Nevada law required her to pay the fine in full — whether she wanted to fight the ticket or not. Since 2021, Nevada lawmakers, both Democrats and Republicans, have changed most traffic infractions, like a speeding ticket, to be a civil infraction, not a criminal one. That means tickets no longer carry the threat of jail time, and missed court appearances do not really matter in the long run since the court may already have your money. Democratic State Sen. Melanie Scheible sponsored the change, which passed unanimously. The governor signed it last week. In addition, changes written in Senate Bill 359 now combine civil and criminal infractions — minor speeding offenses versus driving without a license — and allow a judge to deal with both in one hearing. The new law also gives judges more discretion, not a 'presumption in favor' to reduce a traffic ticket to a nonmoving violation should the driver pay all their fines and have a good driving record.

Lombardo notes education, housing advances in statement on Nevada Legislature
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Gov. Joe Lombardo emphasized progress on education and housing laws as he released a statement Friday on this year's legislative session. Lombardo, a Republican, also touched on decisions he made in vetoing a record 87 bills approved by the Democrat-controlled Nevada Legislature — just over 14% of everything that passed. He signed 518 bills into law. While contentious, this session had a smoother end than in 2023, when Lombardo called two special sessions immediately following adjournment. One session dealt with an unresolved budget that Republicans blocked, and the other passed the A's stadium deal. New Nevada traffic ticket laws to go into effect And despite this year's harsh criticism coming from progressive groups and advocates who cast many of his vetoes as betrayals, he thanked lawmakers for working in good faith toward 'a stronger, safer, and more affordable Nevada for all.' The Governor's Office said ceremonial bill signings are forthcoming for Senate Bill 460, the landmark bipartisan education reform package, and Assembly Bill 540, the Nevada Housing Access and Attainability Act. Lombardo's full statement appears below: I am proud of the meaningful progress we made this session – particularly in the areas of education and housing. Working together, we've taken important steps to expand educational opportunity, begin restoring accountability in our public schools, and make housing more attainable for working families across our said, I did not take lightly the decision to veto 87 bills. I do not enjoy using the veto pen, but as Governor, it is my responsibility to protect Nevadans from legislation that goes too far, expands government unnecessarily, or creates unintended consequences that hurt families, businesses, or our veto was carefully considered. My priority will always be to ensure that every law enacted serves the best interest of the people of Nevada – not special interests, and not bigger the legislators who worked in good faith throughout this session: thank you. I remain committed to working with you to build a stronger, safer, and more affordable Nevada for all. Nevada Gov.
