LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Over the years, there has been an influx of street racing across the Las Vegas valley. Residents in the southwest valley are now speaking out saying that there has been non-stop commotion on the streets of their neighborhood for months.
Scott Beckwith who lives in Southern Highlands said it’s gotten so bad that he and his wife have considered moving.
“There are cars going through block walls and I don’t want to be that one where a car comes into my living room,” Beckwith shared. “They are doing donuts, stopping and then burning their tires with lots of smoke doing everything under the sun, that you should be doing on a racetrack and not a residential street.”
Beckwith shared with 8 News Now that he would like to see some type of enforcement or speed deterrent put in place to combat this problem.
“There’s a stop sign right there that people just blow through and cars have gotten stuck through this wall,” Jeannette Barrett Phillips said.
