Nevada's Clark County is installing its first protected bike lane on Starr Avenue in the southeast Las Vegas Valley, reports Alan Snel in LN Sports Biz.

"Road safety is a crisis issue in Las Vegas/Clark County because more than 425 Clark County School District students were hit by motorists going and leaving schools during last school year," Snel adds. A safety committee issued 75 recommendations for improving road safety for children at area schools.
