Goal 4.2: Actively manage the transportation system to improve reliability, efficiency, and safety
Collaborate with the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), RTC, and other regional partners on efforts to implement projects and programs that result in a more efficient freeway system, and support reductions in travel demand, air pollution, energy consumption, and infrastructure needs.
Ensure the identified functional class, right-of-way, design, capacity, and level of service of transportation facilities are consistent in supporting existing and future land use development patterns and climate goals.
Support the identification and retention of rights-of-way for future roadways, fixed guideway systems, or other transportation facilities identified in adopted plans. Discourage the vacation of existing, or elimination of planned, rights-of-way unless alternative multimodal connections exist or can be provided in the vicinity.
Limit driveway frequencies on arterial and collector streets in accordance with the RTC Clark County Area Access Management Plan.
Encourage the use of context-sensitive traffic calming measures, such as roundabouts and road diets, in appropriate locations to reduce vehicle speeds, discourage shortcutting traffic, increase safety, and enhance the livability of neighborhoods and communities.
Support efforts to enhance connectivity between truck, rail, and air transport to support the efficient movement of goods in and through Clark County. Support development that is compatible with freight operations to protect existing uses and maintain opportunities for future expansion of employment and industrial land uses in areas with desirable freight access.
