4. Speed Limits: The maximum speed limit on Nevada highways is 70 mph, unless otherwise posted. In urban areas, the speed limit is typically 25-35 mph. In Nevada, speed limits on roads depend on the type and location of the road. Here are some speed limit regulations in Nevada:

• On city streets, the speed limit is usually 25 miles per hour. However, some city streets may have higher speed limits depending on the road’s design and conditions.

• On highways, the speed limit is 70 miles per hour, but speed limits may be lower in some areas.

Nevada also has specific speed limits for other situations, such as in mountainous areas, for trucks and trailers, and more. Drivers adjust their speed accordingly based on road conditions and weather to ensure safety.

5. Right-of-Way Law: Right of way refers to the legal right of a driver, pedestrian, or bicyclist to proceed first in a particular situation or intersection. In Nevada, the following rules apply for right of way:

• At intersections with stop signs, the driver who stops first has the right of way, and if two or more drivers stop at the same time, the driver on the right has the right of way.

• At intersections with traffic signals, drivers must obey the signal. Green means go, yellow means caution, and red means stop. Pedestrians and bicyclists must obey traffic signals as well.

• At intersections without stop signs or traffic signals, drivers must yield to any vehicle or pedestrian that is already in or approaching the intersection from the right.

• When turning left, drivers must yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians.

• Emergency vehicles, such as ambulances and fire trucks, have the right of way when their sirens and/or lights are on. Drivers should move to the right and stop to allow them to pass.

• When entering a freeway, drivers must yield to traffic already on the freeway.

It is important for drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists to be aware of their right of way in different situations to ensure safe and efficient traffic flow. Drivers should also be aware of other drivers and be prepared to yield the right of way to avoid accidents.

6. Stop Sign and Red Light Law: In Nevada, drivers are required to obey stop signs and red lights at all times. Here are some specific laws regarding stop signs and red lights:

• When approaching a stop sign, drivers must come to a complete stop before the marked stop line or before entering the crosswalk or intersection. If there is no stop line or crosswalk, the driver must stop before entering the intersection. The driver may proceed only when it is safe to do so and after yielding the right-of-way to pedestrians and other vehicles as required by law.
• When approaching a red light, drivers must come to a complete stop before the marked stop line or before entering the crosswalk or intersection. Drivers may turn right on a red light after stopping and yielding to pedestrians and other vehicles as required by law, unless there is a sign indicating otherwise. However, drivers may not turn left on a red light, even from a one-way street to another one-way street.
• Drivers must always yield to pedestrians in a marked or unmarked crosswalk, even if there is no stop
• sign or red light at the intersection. If a pedestrian is crossing the street, drivers must stop and wait until the pedestrian has safely crossed before proceeding.
• If a traffic signal is not functioning properly, drivers must treat the intersection as a four-way stop.

Failing to stop at a stop sign or red light can result in a traffic ticket and fine. More importantly, it can also lead to accidents and serious injuries. Therefore, it is important for drivers to obey all traffic signals and signs to ensure safety for themselves and others on the road.

8. Move Over Law: In Nevada, there is a “move over” law that requires drivers to move over to the next lane or slow down when approaching stopped emergency vehicles or tow trucks with flashing lights. Here are some specific requirements of the move over law:

• When approaching a stationary emergency vehicle, such as a police car, fire truck, or ambulance, with its emergency lights flashing, drivers must move over to the adjacent lane if it is safe to do so. If moving over is not possible or safe, drivers must slow down and proceed with caution.
• The move over law also applies to tow trucks with amber lights flashing while they are engaged in towing or roadside assistance. Drivers must move over to the adjacent lane or slow down and proceed with caution.
• Violating the move over law can result in a traffic ticket and fine.

The move over law is in place to protect emergency personnel and tow truck operators who are often working on the side of the road in potentially dangerous situations. By moving over or slowing down, drivers can help prevent accidents and ensure the safety of those working on the side of the road.
