Kentuckians reminded to slow down this summer From Erin G. Eggen Frankfort, KY - As travel increases this summer, Kentuckians are reminded to slow down and pay attention to posted speed limits to keep all road users safe. Speed limits are the law and enforceable if not obeyed. Driving over the limit greatly reduces a driver's ability to respond to unexpected situations, such as stopped or slowed traffic, an object in the road, or encountering vulnerable road users such as highway workers, pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists. "We want families to get out and enjoy all the great things Kentucky has to offer this summer - and that means asking everyone to take the steps necessary to stay safe," said Gov. Andy Beshear. "Please slow down and be patient with others so you can get to your destination safely." Approximately 33% of crashes in Kentucky involve a speeding or aggressive driver, so the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's (KYTC) Office of Highway Safety (KOHS) is partnering with law enforcement agencies across the state on the "Not So Fast, Kentucky" speed awareness campaign through July 31, 2024.

Letter: Paint sign on the road Ann Pearson writes: We are constantly having to replace signs and most of it's due to the semis being allowed through the square. How long are we going to just keep allowing property of all kinds to be destroyed before the police put a stop to these big trucks coming around the Square?
