Keep It Moving When Visiting The Strip Utah

If you are like me and like to stop and smell the roses, you should know that when you visit the strip in Las Vegas there are some new rulings that keep wanderers like us moving along.

Navigating the Strip isn’t as simple as strolling down a straight sidewalk. You’ve got to take escalators, cross raised platforms, and then return to the street. This setup is already a bit of a maze, but the real issue? People stopping to take in the sights. Sure, Las Vegas is dazzling, and who wouldn’t want to pause for a selfie or to marvel at the neon wonders? But too much gawking has led to serious congestion.

To combat this, Clark County has passed an ordinance that forbids stopping, standing, or doing anything that makes others stop on pedestrian bridges and the surrounding areas. That means no more lingering on those platforms to snap a selfie or marvel at the neon lights.

Do you think they have rules about slow walking? You know some people that can shuffle at such a slow pace that they would cause congestion, but they are still moving.

Also, what if you are stopped because the traffic in front of you has stopped? Which brings up another question, how will they enforce this? From this article it looks like violating the new ordinance can result in a misdemeanor conviction, punishable by up to six months in jail, a fine of up to $1,000, or both. How will they know why you stopped?

There are still kinks to be worked out and some critics of the law that might overturn it, but in the meantime be aware that if you like to selfie journal your trip do so with caution on the Las Vegas Strip.
