For some reason, several tourists in the past week have decided to make I-15 a place to cross the roads. Never mind that cars are going 65MPH, never mind the big fences they have to crawl over, never mind the warning signs on the on-ramps. And maybe these idiots are used to crossing over Interstate highways like in California, Texas, Arizona and New Mexico after they come into the country illegally.
From the Las Vegas Sun: For the third time in a week, a pedestrian has been struck by a vehicle on Interstate 15 near the Las Vegas Strip.
The Nevada Highway Patrol says a man was hospitalized but is expected to recover after he was hit before dawn today as he tried to cross southbound I-15 near Flamingo Road.
The crash happened a day after a 26-year-old man was killed when he was struck by a vehicle while he and another man tried to cross the southbound freeway near Russell Road.
The other man wasn't hit, but both men were taken to University Medical Center in Las Vegas. The injured man was pronounced dead.
On May 20, a 46-year-old man was struck and killed about 1:30 a.m. crossing northbound I-15 - also near Flamingo Road.

Nope, the 15 Interstate does not have any cross walks or street lights to use. So, please, do not cross the Interstate Highway or you will end up dead.
