Las Vegas doesn't have any lines dividing its road lanes but the reason why makes total sense

Despite being one of the busiest cities in the world, Las Vegas has refused to paint any lines to divide its road lanes, but it’s managed to find an alternative way to avoid complete vehicular anarchy.

The main strip in Las Vegas is renowned for being quite the hotspot for cars.

Whether it’s tourists, cabbies, or locals on the work run, the roads are forever populated with four lanes of traffic in every direction.

But, unlike every other major city on the planet, there are no white painted road lines to keep the chaos in order.

Las Vegas roads are getting busier, but not clearer

Nevada has always been a state full of life, and its beating heart of Las Vegas is only getting more autonomous.

While some underground tunnels are diverting Tesla traffic beneath the ground, fleets of new self-driving cars are rolling up to the entertainment capital of the world.

And it’s quite a miracle that they know where they are going, as the roads are bare without any white paint.

Previously, authorities have attempted to paint the roads with dividers, but the extreme heat only melts them off the road.

The alternative? Well, that’s Botts’ Dots.

These neat little bumps are popular all around the world, serving as lane breakers on motorways in Europe, but often still accompanied by a white line or a glow-up UV ray.

Still, in Vegas, they’re densely populated and can withstand the sweltering Nevada sun.

This way, they can stay cemented to the asphalt and will scarcely need to be maintained.

They’re not used in the colder states for snow-plow reasons, as the Minnesota locals will understand, but in the heat, they will serve as much better peacekeepers.

They are only used in the City center, though, because driving over them makes a thud too loud for residential areas.

There are exceptions

There are a few occasions where the lines are painted on, though.

Particularly when the Formula 1 street race rolls into Las Vegas.

Here, the grid, starting lines, circuit outlines, and pit lanes are all painted on.

Still, in the other 51 weeks of the year, the streets are barren of any drawings, and drivers will have to listen out for Botts’ Dots or else perish to the glare of the Las Vegas Sphere.
