Near miss at KY 61 S, Bypass: 1 second ahead of certain tragedy But for one second, writer, cautious and on guard, would have been seriously injured or a fatality. She offers three suggestiions for the deadly intersection, including video surveillance and serious fines for those not obeying traffic laws. The intersection is Burkesville Street and its continuance as Burkesville Road & Adair Veterans Memorial Bypass. By Peggy Fudge Personal commentary Thursday afternoon, (22 Jan 2015 - CM) I was on my way to Walmart by way of 61S. I approached the intersection with the By-pass and the light was red, so I stopped. Almost immediately it turned green. I don't trust anyone to drive safely through this light, so I checked to see if any traffic seemed to be pushing the yellow. From the east a semi was bearing down on the intersection and flew right through a red light. Not yellow. On my side the light was already green. He had apparently sped up to beat the light, resulting in his running a red light. If I had been another second getting to the light, it would have been green and I wouldn't have stopped. I'd have coasted right into the path of that truck. I get weak thinking about it. I have three suggestions for that intersection.
