I am a resident of Carson City, NV, and I have personally witnessed multiple pedestrians being hit in the crosswalk at the intersection of Carson Street and Nye Lane. The dark conditions combined with high-speed drivers create a dangerous environment for those who need to cross this busy intersection.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), pedestrian fatalities account for 17% of all traffic fatalities in Nevada. This is an alarming statistic that highlights the urgency of implementing safety measures such as pedestrian lights.

Installing a Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacon at this particular intersection will not only improve visibility but also force drivers to slow down, thereby reducing the risk of accidents. It's time we prioritize our community's safety over convenience or speed.

The city has an obligation to protect its residents by providing safe crossing options. We urge local authorities in Carson City, NV, to take immediate action on this matter by installing a pedestrian light at the intersection of Carson Street and Nye Lane.

Please sign this petition if you believe in making our streets safer for everyone. Your support could save lives.
