National Stop on Red Week is reminding drivers that every time they approach an intersection, they have a choice that can help protect people who share the road.

The Nevada Department of Transportation said the week, observed August 2-8, highlights the importance of stopping at red lights.

According to the Nevada Department of Transportation in an online post, red-light running is preventable, and every safe decision helps protect others.

Crash data from 2024 shows the impact of red-light running crashes, which kill three people and injure 386 more people every day based on U.S. data.

The reminder comes with a simple message: Stop today, protect tomorrow. Drivers are encouraged to make safe decisions at intersections during National Stop on Red Week.
