Says 25 mph limit for Fairground Street unreasonable Comments re article 63782 Rita Smith Reduce speed approaching intersection signs needed Jim Hudson writes: Reducing the speed limit to 25 mph is unreasonable for that stretch of road. - Jim HudsonI respectfully and absolutely disagree. That a high density residential area. The people whose lives speeders are endangering are precious family members to me. And in Kentucky, a 25 mph means 34 to too most drivers, and that's far too fast anywhere near the campus. We recognize that for public schools. - ED 2013-12-05 20:37:55 | Comments | Printable version

Rita Smith: Reduce speed, approaching intersection signs needed Comments re article 63769 When will stoplight be installed at Greenhills RD/KY 206 Rita Smith writes: Just my opinion, but the subject on the Greenhills Road, and on Burkesville Street, of installing a stop light, to control the wrecks would be useless. When I go out of town and come upon a sign informing me that an intersection is near, it gets my immediate attention. I start slowing down. You never know who else is approaching you.Thanks for good suggestion on the signage: It would help, especially if signs to reduce speed coming west, toward town had speeds reduced incrementally to 25mph on the town side of the bridge.

Kenny Powell: Bypass takes longer than cut through town Comments re photo 52573 Another victim. A killed sign on Columbia Square Kenny Powell writes: Actually, 3 miles out of the way on the bypass. I checked. Bypass takes longer. - Kenny PowellAnd, according to some The semi-drivers sometimes avoid the bypass because that's where the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement is heaviest. May Columbians could lobby the CVE to set up shop on the Square. By the way, the Yield Sign is back up. Think it's a break away standard, the sign faces look new though. Haven't heard if the driver volunteered payment for the cost of replacement. - EW 2013-12-05 15:56:12 | Comments | Printable version

Comment on the: Demise of yield sign Joyce M. Coomer writes: Ed, did you think to whip out your trusty camera and photograph the truck's license plates so the DOT could trace them? - JOYCE M. COOMER. 270-384-4495Yes, and then thought better of it: The driver was probably in a bad situation which is tantamount to entrapment. The City and State leave these tempting high speed limits in place, practically inviting a huge truck like this one not to use the one mile longer bypass. The driver was at that critical ethical dilemma moment where a pilot of a crashing plane has to decide whether or not to hit the orphanage or the mansion, and chooses the the mansion; and the truck, already swinging wide to miss the courthouse, just took out a sign, the lesser of two evils. Besides, I still believe the driver called in or will call in, apologize, and pay for the sign. - EW 2013-12-05 12:32:42 | Comments | Printable version

When will stoplight be installed at Greenhills RD/KY 206? Whether speed was a factor in most recent mishap or not, visual cues from recent 'enhancement' is causing higher speeds, greater chances for accidents, as the State Highway Department was told before the expenditure of taxpayers' dollars - and failure to make all traffic stop at the dangerous intersection. CM Mitzi McKinley Bault writes: For weeks we could not get in or out of our drive. Utilities turned off at times, and the state spent a lot of taxpayers' money, when all that had to done was put up a stop light. All it (so called sight enhancement project did made drivers go faster. No one enforces the 35mph speed. How many people have to be hurt or killed to get people to slow down.
