A long wait for interchanges

This week, readers want to know if there are plans to build an interchange at Starr Avenue and Interstate 15 in the southern valley, and if the DMV doesn’t ask you to pay a tax, do you still have to pay it? The Road Warrior has a special rant for the express lane project on I-15 on the California side of the border, and a reader knows of at least one optimistic motorist in these troubled economic times.

Never-ending construction

This week readers want to know when is the horror on Martin Luther King Boulevard going to end, and why is Las Vegas Boulevard, near Planet Hollywood, reduced to one lane at night. And the Road Warrior learns that flying cars could be a reality sooner than we think.

Innovations let parents control kids’ driving

Imagine being able to control how fast your car goes without being behind the steering wheel or holding a gun to the head of the person driving.

Interstate 15 work halfway done

This week readers want to know when the construction on Interstate 15 parallel to the Strip is going to end, what’s happening on St. Rose Parkway in Henderson and what’s the easiest way to get from U.S. Highway 95 to I-15 north.

News from India on Thursday has the potential to turn the world upside down.

Loud mufflers illegal only in use

This week readers want to know whether drivers are subject to citation if they do not pull into the left lane if a police officer has pulled someone over on the right side of the road; what does KOM-674 stand for on a license plate; and what is the law regarding loud mufflers and how do stores get away with selling them?
