Transportation Nevada 3 Minutes Read · published February 10, 2026 Flag of Nevada

Residents and neighborhood associations in Sunrise Manor, Nevada can ask Clark County to evaluate streets for speed humps, roundabouts, or other traffic calming measures. This guide explains who handles requests, typical steps, what the county considers when evaluating traffic safety, and how to track or appeal decisions. Use the official county contact to start a request and check whether your street is a county-maintained roadway or a state route before applying. The guidance below summarizes official Clark County procedures and points to the department that receives complaints and studies.

Start by confirming whether your street is maintained by Clark County or by the Nevada Department of Transportation.

How requests are handled

Requests for speed humps or roundabouts in Sunrise Manor are reviewed by Clark County Public Works traffic staff. The county uses traffic counts, speed studies, collision history, roadway classification, and input from residents to determine whether a physical traffic calming device is appropriate. Expect a field review, collection of data, and an engineering recommendation before any capital work or pilot installations are approved.

Penalties & Enforcement

Traffic calming installations themselves are engineering measures rather than regulatory penalties, but enforcement of traffic laws on streets with or without calming devices is carried out by law enforcement agencies. Specific fines, escalation procedures, and non-monetary sanctions tied to installation or misuse of traffic calming devices are not detailed on the cited county page below.

  • Fines: not specified on the cited page; enforcement of speed limits is handled by law enforcement agencies and fines follow state/local traffic statutes.
  • Escalation: not specified on the cited page; information about repeat or continuing offences is governed by traffic code and local enforcement policy.
  • Non-monetary sanctions: not specified on the cited page; typical options include official work orders, removal of unapproved devices, or court referral where applicable.
  • Enforcer & inspection: Clark County Public Works (Traffic Engineering) receives requests and forwards enforcement concerns to the appropriate law enforcement agency. Contact the county to file a study request Clark County Public Works[1].
  • Appeals/review: specific appeal time limits and procedures for traffic-calming decisions are not specified on the cited county page; ask Public Works for the review timeline when you submit your request.
Engineering decisions can take months depending on workload and data collection needs.

Applications & Forms

The county does not publish a single universally named form for all traffic calming requests on the cited page; residents are instructed to contact Clark County Public Works to initiate a study or request. If a specific traffic-calming petition form exists it should be provided by the department when you call or email. Current fees for studies or installations are not specified on the cited page.

How evaluations work

Typical evaluation steps the county follows include initial eligibility screening, collection of traffic volume/speed data, collision analysis, community input, and an engineering recommendation. Where installations are approved, the county may pilot temporary measures before permanent construction.

Community support and documented speeding or collisions increase the chance of a study advancing to engineering recommendations.
