Pedestrians mill about on a bridge overlooking the Las Vegas Strip. Clark County instituted an ordinance in January to keep traffic moving on the walkways and to discourage people from stopping too long and getting in the way.

Pedestrians mill about on a bridge overlooking the Las Vegas Strip. Clark County instituted an ordinance in January to keep traffic moving on the walkways and to discourage people from stopping too long and getting in the way. But many people, tourists and locals alike, are still confused about the new laws.

Clark County put the new law into effect in January, which can draw a $1,000 fine for people who stop on pedestrian bridges over the Las Vegas Strip and cause other people to stop.
