Pedestrian fatalities are down in Las Vegas since 2010 when 20 pedestrians were killed.
There have been just 15 in 2011 as of October 30.
The number of traffic fatalities is also down, numbering 56 deaths in 2011 as opposed to 63 in 2010 and 75 in 2009.
The number of car accidents is up, numbering 19,132 accidents in 2011. In 2010 there were 18,928 accidents.
Part of the increase in traffic related deaths is due to an increase in alcohol related accidents.
Cell phones and electronic devices also cause a distraction, Sargent Richard Strader said.
He asked both pedestrians and drivers to use common sense.
