Traffic Signal At Shelby Valley High School
KENTUCKY...
Multiple traffic accidents resulting in several deaths at the entrance to Shelby Valley High School at Douglas Parkway prompted the Pike CountyFiscal Court to request a traffic control study from the Kentucky TransportationCabinet in September of last year.
In early December of this year, traffic signals were installed at the dangerous intersection.
Pike County Judge-Executive Wayne T. Rutherford has made several attempts to draw attention to this matter in the past.
“I contacted the Federal Highway Administration about this before and was turned down,” Rutherford said. “Putting a light there would enhance the safety of the people and it is something that needs to be done immediately.”
Rutherford was elated to find out the traffic signals had been installed.
