About Traffic Management<\/h1><\/div>

The RTC\u2019s Freeway and Arterial System of Transportation (FAST) is designed to both monitor and control traffic. The traffic control component of the system consists of freeway and arterial management. Traffic control requires detection of traffic conditions through the use of video image detection and inductive loop detection. Visual verification of conditions is possible through closed-circuit television cameras. Traffic control is achieved through the use of traffic signals, ramp meters, dynamic message signs, and lane use control signals.<\/p>\n<\/div>

RTC staff is responsible for two major areas that make up the FAST system:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. the Arterial Management Section, which includes all arterial streets and roadways such as Eastern, Sahara, and Charleston;<\/li>\n
  2. and the Freeway Management Section, which includes the entire freeway network such as the 215 beltway, US-95, I-11 and I-15.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    FAST is under the jurisdiction of the RTC elected board, which makes policies for FAST. Transportation strategies are set by the Operations Management Committee (OMC), comprised of the RTC, Clark County, the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) and the cities of Henderson, Las Vegas and North Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<\/div>

    Traffic Signal Operations<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    The RTC Traffic Management Center (TMC) identifies detours, adjusts traffic signals and keeps vehicles flowing as smoothly as possible for freeway and arterial systems throughout Clark County and the cities of Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City, Mesquite and Laughlin.<\/p>\n

    The team manages more than 1,600 traffic signals, 750 arterial cameras, 250 freeway cameras, 160 dynamic message signs\/active traffic management gantries, 70 ramp meters and 650 freeway flow detectors throughout the valley.<\/p>\n

    Active Traffic Management (ATM) System<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

    The RTC works collaboratively with the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) and Nevada Highway Patrol (NHP) to manage the Project Neon Active Traffic Management (ATM) system along I-15 and U.S. 95. These high-resolution digital displays show real-time information about incidents and lane restrictions in order to improve traffic movement and increase safety by potentially reducing the number and severity of crashes.<\/p>\n
