The summer months can bring out more illegal street racing and sideshows.
Reno Police Chief Kathryn Nance says sideshows are not as common as they were a few years ago, but there's already been a couple this year.
RPD says they have a zero-tolerance policy for sideshows.
If people are caught, they could be getting citations or arrested for reckless driving, speeding and other violations.
However, if you are watching the sideshows, that also comes with consequences.
"You might not be the driver of those vehicles that are causing the issues, but by actively participating and continuously watching that side show you are also committing a crime, and you are subject to that same level of enforcement as the drivers of the vehicles," said Chief Kathryn Nance, Reno Police Department.
Chief Nance says if your business is being impacted by these shows to join the "No Loitering Program."
By posting a "No Loitering" sign and joining the program it allows law enforcement to intervene right away.
Before, police would have to contact the owner to see if they have their permission if it's private property.
Law enforcement is also looking for the public's help with identifying this activity.
"These things don't happen in a vacuum, people are aware that a sideshow is coming," Chief Nance said. "You've seen it on social media, you have a friend or family member that's talking about it, and we need our community members to help us to prevent those."
The Chief stressed that working with all regional agencies is crucial in stopping it.
To report, you can call the City of Reno non-emergency line at 775-334-2677.
"I want to let everyone know we are ramping up enforcement and if we haven't gotten you yet, we will," said Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve.
The mayor wants people to be more cautious on the roads.
There's been a lot of crashes in our area over the past couple of weeks.
One of those recently involved the death of an 18-year-old and two 17-year-old teenagers.
The mayor stressed that parents need to be keeping tabs on their children at all times. She says she's been dealing with parents struggling with the loss of their children.
"I can't even imagine being a parent walking out and seeing their child walk out that door and not coming back and it was something that could've been avoided, and I'm seeing it and it's just breaking my heart seeing these parents that are in my office, and they are just stricken with grief," she said.
The police say that impairment and speeding are the biggest contributing factors with recent crashes.
"We have seen a lower reported number of collisions," Chief Nance said. "12 to 13 percent lower number of collisions with higher number of fatalities. So that means people are driving way too fast and they need to slow down."
The Police Chief stresses that these speed limits are not just recommendations.
"Speed limits are posted based on traffic engineering, the amount of traffic on the road, the type of road, turns in the road and this is a science," Nance said. "There are people who have gone to school for this that understand how to exactly measure what that speed limit should be on that road."Â
