Nevada pedestrian traffic deaths rose in 2017 amid a decline in overall statewide traffic deaths. 303 traffic fatalities occurred on Nevada roads in 2017, down from about 330 deaths the previous year. The decline in traffic fatalities marks the first time since 2013 that traffic fatalities were fewer than the previous year in Nevada. Total year-end traffic deaths could be adjusted based on ongoing traffic crash investigations. While overall traffic fatalities declined, the number of pedestrian deaths jumped from 80 pedestrian fatalities in 2016 to 99 in 2017. Bicyclist deaths also rose from six in 2016 to nine in 2017.
