We all know that the city of Las Vegas in Nevada is a very wealthy city. Well, at least it has a lot of wealthy inhabitants. So why are the roads in Las Vegas always such a mess? Because the roads do not have noticeable markings that divide lanes.I have been driving around Las Vegas for years. I used to come here with my parents over 40 years ago. Every time I come here the landscape has changed. Hotels are gone and newer, bigger hotels emerge. So, of course, the roads change also. But after moving, changing or adding a road, can't they just mark the damn thing?
It's a damn good thing that Las Vegas gets very little rain or the roads would be even harder to read. I know that the lack of proper lane marking must be accountable for a certain number of traffic collisions here. It just has to. And then add to the mix the number of Taxis that drive the streets of Las Vegas and wammo, an accident waiting to happen.
I can understand if I was driving around say, Yuma Arizona or some rural area of Texas but this is a big city and a very rich city. Rich enough that the residents do not have to pay state income tax. Why you ask? Because the gaming industry pays it for them. It's their little gift to the citizens of Nevada for allowing these casino owners to stay in business.
So come on Las Vegas. Quit embarrassing yourselves. Put a few bucks into your roads and mark them so that us old, night blind people can tell which lane we are in when we are driving to some casino to make a deposit.
Thanks for listening and good luck to you gamblers.
