Richard N. Velotta, the Review-Journal’s new Road Warrior writer, sees the column “as raising our collective ability to get around, sometimes out of town, on just about anything that moves.”
Sometimes, things just make us mad, especially when they’re out of our control. Too-slow drivers, too-fast drivers, traffic lights that change too quickly, and mopeds.
The predominant attitude of readers this week centered around one question: Do I ask forgiveness or permission?
Some questions have easy answers. Should you run that red light? No. Are convertible drivers happy it’s almost a glorious 80 degrees outside already? Absolutely.
It’s not uncommon in the Las Vegas Valley to pass multiple adult entertainment businesses in a single commute.
You’ve probably already put away your raincoats and forgot that you need new windshield wiper fluid after Friday’s rain, seeing as the forecast allowed us only one day of showers after an almost two-month dry spell.
We begin this week’s Road Warrior somberly.
A reader frustrated by slow-moving trucks on the highway writes writes with a question.
It’s probably safe to say that some of us have already broken our New Year’s resolutions.
The beginning of a new year always brings change.
The holidays are here, and with them come predictable traditions.
There are, however, many roads and lanes that will be inaccessible for valley residents and visitors soon. That would be thanks to New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas, which is a pretty big annual production. What’s important to remember: avoid the Strip in your car.
We like technology. It’s fun, isn’t it?
With progress and growth come new challenges.
