NHP and CHP are Joining Forces for Memorial Weekend

On Friday, May 22ng the Nevada Highway Patrol will be joining forces with the California Highway Patrol
targeting the highly traveled interstate I-15 corridor between California and Las Vegas. It is estimated that
an average of 45,000 vehicles enter Nevada on the IR15 corridor from Los Angeles, California on a daily
basis, which equates to an average in excess of 16 million vehicles entering every year. Both NHP and
CHP will concentrate enforcement efforts near the Primm area and St. Rose Parkway. Travelers are
reminded from Primm, Nevada to St. Rose Parkway is designated a “Zero Tolerance” zone. Even the
most minor traffic infraction will be enforced during the holiday weekend. The goal of both agencies is to
increase overall safety and to have zero fatalities on our roadways during the holiday weekend. Due to the
current circumstances it is unknown how busy the roads will be but both agencies will be on the I-15
ensuring motorists are driving safely.

This stretch of interstate I-15 was once considered one of the most deadly stretches of highway in the
country. With the collaborative efforts of our two agencies we have managed to reduce the number of fatal
crashes in this area through enforcement and education.

The two agencies will target speeding vehicles, move over law violators and distracted driving violations,
however all traffic violations will be enforced no matter the severity. Commuters will be warned with the
DMS electronic freeway signs which will flash the message “Move Over or Slow Down for Stopped
Emergency Vehicles” as well as “Entering NHP Zero Tolerance Zone” as a reminder to be safe.

The California Highway Patrol will focus their efforts on the California side of Interstate I-15 and will include
the use of their fix winged aircraft that measures speed from the air.

Unlike joint operations of the past the Nevada Highway Patrol will not be doing media ride alongs.

For further information, you can contact either Trooper Travis Smaka at 702-469-3882 or Trooper Jason
Buratczuk at 702-533-6808.
