EDC rookies and returning fest-goers alike—Las Vegas driving is notoriously aggressive and chaotic, especially during festival weekends. The r/electricdaisycarnival subreddit pooled local insights, warning incoming drivers to prepare for fast, risky merges, rampant red-light running, and common speeding 10-15 mph over posted limits.
Key safety tips:
- Constantly check mirrors and blind spots.
- Expect sudden lane changes from others.
- Pause 1-2 seconds before moving on green lights due to blind intersections.
- Stay calm; Las Vegas traffic enforcement can be sparse and unpredictable.
Comments from locals describe the city’s roads as a “no man’s land” for traffic cops, urging even seasoned out-of-state drivers to stay extra vigilant. Remember, your priority is to arrive safe and stress-free—leave road rage at the festival gates.
For prep, consider:
- Planning routes ahead to avoid last-minute lane switches.
- Allowing extra time for delays.
- Utilizing rideshares or public transit if uncertain about navigating.
