Kentuckians reminded to follow speed limits this summer From Marla Marrs Frankfort, KY - With Kentucky families on the move this summer, Team Kentucky is encouraging drivers to slow down and obey posted speed limits to help keep everyone on the road safe. Transportation officials and law enforcement statewide are teaming up to promote safer roads through education and speed enforcement. The KOHS provides the following tips for dealing with speeding and/or aggressive drivers:
Higher speeds increase crash severity and reduce the time drivers have to react to hazards such as stopped traffic, road debris, highway workers, pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists. Even five miles over the speed limit can make a difference between avoiding a hazard and a life-altering crash. Speeding and aggressive driving are major contributors to roadway fatalities. In 2025, approximately one-third of all traffic fatalities in Kentucky involve a speeding or aggressive driver. In response, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's Office of Highway Safety (KOHS) is partnering with law enforcement agencies statewide to implement the "Not So Fast, Kentucky" speed awareness campaign through July 31. With funding from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, KOHS distributes full-year grants to law enforcement agencies that applied. To support year-round enforcement efforts and safety campaigns, KOHS has distributed more than 50 handheld radar units and more than 150 dash-mounted radar units to grantees over the past three years to enhance safety. "Speed limits are in place to protect everyone on the road," said Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Goodman. "We're asking drivers to slow down and stay alert, especially as more workers are out in construction work zones improving roads and bridges for travelers." To further increase safety in work zones for Kentucky drivers and construction crews, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) began using automated speed enforcement devices in select active highway work zones in late fall of 2025. As construction season ramps up, drivers need to stay alert and use extra caution in work zones. A work zone is any part of the highway where government crews, contractors or utility companies are doing construction, repairs, resurfacing, inspections or maintenance. To keep everyone safe, slow down, watch for signs and stay alert. For more information, visit notsofastky.com. This story was posted on 2026-07-06 20:39:11
