Official account of the NV Dept. of Transportation. We keep NV safe, connected, and moving forward. Major maintenance stations are in Ely, Tonopah and Winnemucca.

The department is responsible for the planning, construction, operation and maintenance of the 5,400 miles of highway and over 1,000 bridges which make up the Nevada state highway system. The department is divided into three districts, with a district engineer and assistant engineers in each. The districts are responsible for supervising all state transportation activities within their local areas. NDOT's headquarters building is located in Carson City, with the three main district offices located in Las Vegas, Reno and Elko. NDOT is overseen by a seven-member Board of Directors and directed by the Executive Leadership Team.

Do you know a hero who puts their life on the line to keep our communities safe? Think of them as you're driving and slow down, move over, and give emergency responders and road crews space to work.

What do you do when you see those flashing lights in front of you?

Remember:
- Slow down
- Move over

Also, slow down for disabled vehicles and roadside incidents. Attentive driving can save lives.

Have you seen the Freeway Service Patrol in Reno or Las Vegas? Like other first responders, when you see them assisting at an incident, stay alert, slow down and move over.

FSP helps keep traffic moving and Nevada drivers safe in Las Vegas and Reno/Sparks by patrolling heavily traveled urban freeways during peak travel periods, providing roadside assistance and quickly responding to traffic incidents, disabled vehicles, debris, and other roadway hazards. By reducing the time it takes to clear incidents, FSP helps reduce freeway congestion, improve highway safety, and keep Nevada traffic flowing.

Nevada’s move over law is aimed at keeping first responders and others safe on the road.

The law requires drivers to slow down, proceed with caution, and move to the far lane, if possible, when passing an emergency response vehicle working on the side of the road with amber lights flashing.

The law also requires drivers to do the same for NDOT, Freeway Service Patrol, tow, utility and other vehicles stopped on the side of the road.

NDOT crews are ready to keep snow cleared on Nevada highways.

Did you know? NDOT equipment goes through a wash station to protect the equipment and the environment when it returns to the yard. The wash station provides a cleaner, safer and more efficient working place for our maintenance crews while at the same time helping to protect the water quality in Nevada.

Travel safe in all weather and know before you go by checking NVRoads.com

Thank you, Governor Lombardo, for proclaiming November 2-6 as Crash Responders Safety Week in Nevada. This week serves as a time to remind the public to stay alert, slow down and move over for first responders and incidents on our roadways.

Everyone you see working on the side of the road has a family to go home to.

When you see amber lights, emergency crews, or equipment, slow down, move over and stay alert. Traffic incidents are the primary cause of death for police officers and emergency medical responders nationwide, with 36 roadside first responders struck and killed last year on the nation’s roads.

Join NDOT in recognizing Crash Responder Safety Week.

Nevada, it’s time to fall back!

Daylight Saving Time ends tonight, so be sure to set your clocks back one hour before heading to bed. As the days get shorter and nights get longer, it’s also a good time to check that your vehicle’s headlights and taillights are working properly. Good lighting helps you see and be seen, especially on Nevada’s highways and rural roads.

Enjoy that extra hour of sleep and drive safely out there!
