KY 55 N No passing on shoulder signs to be installed, CJE says Update: Signs installed August 8, 2007. PHOTO Judge checks with Somerset. Signs were in queue, Ann said, but had to be painted, she says. Somerset KHD has promised to have signs here by no later than Thursday. Four to six will be posted, hopefully by Thursday, but no later than Friday, CJE says Somerset KHD has promised. By Ed Waggener An email received at ColumbiaMagazine.com, citing a dangerous situation on Campbellsville Road, related to CJE Ann Melton and Lisa Lee, administrative assistant, got action today. The judge was able to expedite the installation of "No Passing on Shoulders" signs on Ky 55 North, to reduce the danger created when careless drivers were passing on the right hand shoulder. A reader who would who identified as Watching Out My Rearview Mirror, wrote CM this morning, saying, "With the newly paved road, it has become very dangerous on Campbellvsille Rd. We have contacted all the local agencies. "While trying to wait to turn across the road, traffic is not slowing down behind you and cars are passing you on the shoulder. This is allowing for the second vehicle behind you to almost hit you before they notice to go around you also. "We have requested a no passing on the shoulder of the road sign or extra patrol for hazardous driving with no response. Help in this matter would be greatly appreciated before there has to be an accident in order to receive attention." Signed/"Watching out my rearview window" Now the right agencies have been contacted, with results. Lisa Lee, Administrative Assistant in the CJE's office, said that while KY 55 was not part of the County's maintenance system, the office would attempt to get something done. Lee made a call to Adair County KHD Supervisor Junior Brown at the KHD Highway, who said that the signs had been on order, but were slow in coming. Lee said that law enforcement officers were reluctant to write citations until "No Passing on Shoulder" signs were erected. Judge Melton, in a telephone interview early this afternoon, said that she had been in contact with the District 8 Kentucky Highway Department headquarters in Somerset, and had gotten results. She said that the Adair County signs were a priority for Somerset, but that the signs were out of stockat the moment and would have to be painted. She said that she was assured by the Somerset office that four, maybe six "No passing on Shoulder" signs would be painted and erected this week. "I hope we were able to expedite getting the matter," Judge Melton said, "it's been a dangerous situation on Campbellsville Road since the widening." She added, "In the meantime, I hope word is spread to use good sense and caution on the road. School starts soon, and I want to urge parents to warn younger drivers in their families not to pass on shoulders anywhere, and especially not on 55." This story was posted on 2007-08-07 14:56:35
