It was a comment with the outward look of an Internet-breaker: Last week, Clark County commissioner Chris Giunchigliani wondered aloud if Las Vegas Boulevard should be closed to all but certain kinds of traffic, most notably buses, emergency vehicles, cabs and ride-hailing services. Predictably, a number of local and national publications fretted over the very idea of a “Strip driving ban,” even though no one in their right mind wants to drive that parking lot if they can avoid it.

Many of the stories intimated that Giunchigliani’s suggestion was close to an apostasy. And if she had recommended a Strip driving ban, they’d have been right; Las Vegas Boulevard more than earns its place among the U.S. Department of Transportation’s list of “All-American Roads,” alongside such iconic drives as Route 66 and the Pacific Coast Highway. Giunchigliani only wants you—and the ambulances that might save your life—to be able to access the Strip without sitting in perpetual gridlock.

“I first suggested that we look at a dedicated lane [on the Strip] several years ago, but it did not come to fruition,” Giunchigliani says. These days, she’s advocating for a top-to-bottom look at Strip traffic—how cars and pedestrians use it, how RTC buses use it, how we use it to get to our jobs and so on. And it’s in this context that Giunchigliani uses the phrase “no-truck policy.” “You don’t need trucks and mobile billboards on the Strip,” she says.

Mobile billboard drivers needn’t worry just yet. As Giunchigliani reiterates, the proposed restrictions are just something for resort corridor stakeholders to consider while the RTC conducts a study of the Strip for a potential light rail line. “We need to make sure that we’re looking at congestion and safety issues while they’re doing that study.”
