Las Vegas Major Streets and Roadways

Las Vegas streets and roadways have expanded to handle a large amount of traffic due to recent city growth and real estate purchases as home builders continue to develop great communities. Though some areas have their high-traffic times much of the Las Vegas road system handles traffic efficiently and commuters are able to quickly move about.

Here is a list of many of the roadways you will hear about when you move to the valley: 

Las Vegas Freeways and Highways

Las Vegas is traversed from several major roadways. Basically, there is a large "C" shape with a large "X" cutting through the whole city.

  • Beltway 215 - The 215 wraps around the outside of the city forming a "C" shape. It serves much of the valley and for much of it there are no stop lights.
  • I-15 (Interstate I-15) - The I-15 comes up from California from the Southwest and moves North East into Utah forming one cross of the "X".
  • I-515/I-95 - The 95, as commonly known in the valley, cuts through the heart of the city from South East to North West creating another cross in the "X".
  • Summerlin Pkwy - The Summerlin Pkwy connects the west side of town through Summerlin to the 95 which feeds into the spaghetti bowl in the center of town right near the Strip.
