LAS VEGAS — About 45,000 vehicles crossed the California-Nevada border on Interstate 15 every day last year, but some days and months were notoriously more of a nightmare for drivers.
Data from the Nevada Department of Transportation showed the busiest month to cross state lines last year was July, when an average of 52,551 vehicles passed through daily. The quietest month, with 38,408 vehicles crossing daily, was January.
California Department of Transportation spokesperson Carolina Rojas said weekend vehicle traffic is 45% higher than weekday traffic, and to the surprise of no Las Vegas residents, holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s were the most high-traveled.
