Clark County marked the World Day of Remembrance on Sunday with a "Rally to Remember," honoring lives lost to road crashes. The event, introduced by the World Health Organization in 2005 and observed locally since 2017, featured activities to engage the community and highlight road safety, according to News3LV.

A fatal hit-and-run incident early Monday morning has reignited concerns over traffic safety in a rapidly developing neighborhood. A man was struck and killed while walking along Valley View, an area that residents say has become notorious for speeding and poor visibility due to a lack of street lighting.

Sunday was International World Day of Remembrance, designated by the World Health Organization as a day to remember lives lost on the roads and share their stories to prevent future tragedies.

Hundreds of locals gathered at the Silverado Ranch Community Center to honor those who died in crashes on our roadways and pledged to do their part to make our community safer.

Traffic crashes are a daily occurrence in Southern Nevada, impacting countless lives. To honor those affected, Clark County participated in the World Day of Remembrance on Sunday. It's an initiative started by the World Health Organization in 2005 and embraced locally since 2017.

How many times do we have to say this? Traffic fatalities keep rising. Pedestrian deaths — people walking on the road hit and killed by vehicles — is almost as high as it was the last two or three years, and we still have two months to go before the end of the year.

So far this year, pedestrian deaths have far exceeded last year’s total, which was the worst on record. Tuesday morning, officers from across the valley joined forces to make a statement before Halloween to remind drivers to share the road. However, even an officer dressed in a neon yellow inflatable costume could not slow down most of the drivers.

Traffic safety advocates raise awareness of the deadly crashes on Clark County roadways while highlighting a day next month that recognizes road crash victims.
