Following two more pedestrian deaths this week on Boulder Highway, near Lake Mead Parkway, pedestrians and road safety groups are calling for drivers to slow down.
The two people killed this week were Jessica Papin, aged 27 and a mother of five children, who was walking in a marked crosswalk when she was mowed down and killed.
A couple of miles further down the road, a man walked into the path of a garbage truck and lost his life.
Although pedestrians are calling for more marked crosswalks which are also lit, traffic safety advocate, Erin Breen says that they should be more aware of their surroundings and that jaywalking was never a good idea, especially on Boulder Highway which was always busy.
She also called for drivers to slow down and drive more carefully, paying more attention to other road users and being especially vigilant for pedestrians.
Pedestrians are also asking for drivers to slow down on Boulder Highway near Lake Mead Parkway and for more marked lit crosswalks in the area.
