The Nevada Highway Patrol, a division of the Nevada State Police, was proud to participate in today's Nevada Day Parade in Carson City, celebrating our Great State alongside the communities we are honored to serve and protect. A special highlight was the beautifully restored 2008 Ford Crown Victoria, which served as Major Muñoz's first patrol vehicle and was later driven by Captain McLaughlin, who restored it after it was retired from service. A wonderful piece of Nevada Highway Patrol history! Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate Nevada Day with us!

Patrick, Nevada. Washoe County. #WalthamWay #ZipperMerge THIS IS THE WAY…to improve traffic flow on I80 Westbound at the Waltham Way on-ramp. Stay in your lane until the merge point, and then take turns and “zipper merge”. Drivers, please do not straddle between lanes blocking traffic in both lanes behind you. #Please #DriveLikeaNevadan
Do you know how to zipper merge? 1) Stay in your lane until the merge point 2) Use your blinker 3) Take turns with drivers in the other lane to safely and smoothly ease into the remaining lane Always maintain a safe distance, take it slow in the cone zone, & watch for work crews.

SLOW DOWN. MOVE OVER. SAVE LIVES. On Saturday, October 17, National Move Over Day, the Nevada Highway Patrol, a division of the Nevada State Police, conducted focused enforcement of Nevada's Move Over laws throughout Northern Command. Troopers issued 50 citations and 4 warnings for Move Over violations. During the enforcement effort, troopers also reported other traffic enforcement activity, including speeding violations and a DUI investigation. “Every day, our troopers, first responders, tow operators, road crews and others work along busy roadways, often just feet from moving traffic. Failing to slow down and move over puts lives at risk. We ask every driver to pay attention, slow down and move over when safe. Give those working along our roadways the space they need to do their jobs and get home safely to their families.” Anthony Munoz, Major, Nevada Highway Patrol. A few seconds of caution could save a life. #NevadaHighwayPatrol #NevadaStatePolice #MoveOver #TrafficSafety
