Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) – There’s now a valley-wide effort underway to protect students walking to school. Police began stepping up traffic enforcement around school zones on Wednesday.
Police from other jurisdictions are joining CCSD Police to cite drivers breaking the law around schools.
While speeding continues to be one of the leading causes of fatal crashes in the valley, officers will spend the day focusing on any type of traffic violation around a school zone.

The most common violations are speeding, passing, U-Turns, double parking, impeding traffic, and parking too close to a crosswalk, fire hydrant, or private driveway.
