Halting on bridges for a photo op with a panoramic view of the dazzling Las Vegas Strip is about to become a bygone trend. A recent regulation in the U.S. city prohibits individuals from halting or lingering on bridges, engaging in activities that impede pedestrian flow, with the exception of mundane tasks like tying shoelaces.
City officials assert that these measures are crafted to safeguard public safety and maintain the smooth movement of pedestrians. Violators caught breaking the law may face a hefty penalty of £1,000 or endure up to six months of imprisonment.
According to the Washington Post, enforcement actions, whether in the form of arrests or fines, are expected to be rare, typically occurring when individuals resist officers' directions to vacate the area. Las Vegas, nestled in Clark County, Nevada, stands out as a premier tourist destination renowned for its vibrant neon lights and extravagant entertainment spectacles, drawing over 30 million visitors annually.
Jennifer Cooper, Chief Communications Officer for Clark County, emphasized that this new legislation "will help to ensure our world-class tourism destination remains a safe place for people to visit." She further expressed confidence that the law will enhance the overall experience for everyone exploring the city's attractions.
