Posted

MURRAY – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) has reduced speed limits near the intersection of KY 94 and KY 1660 in Murray. New speed limit signs were installed today.

Following an engineering and traffic study, KYTC has extended the 35-mph zone on KY 94 westward from 17th Street to just beyond Belle Meade Drive. A 45-mph transition zone then continues from Belle Meade Drive to near Hudson Road.

In the distance, a 45 mph sign can be seen just past Belle Meade Drive. (JESSICA PAINE/The Murray Sentinel)

On KY 1660, a 35-mph zone is now in place from the KY 94 intersection north to just past College Farm Road, followed by a 45-mph transition zone stretching to KY 121.

These changes aim to enhance safety near residential areas and schools. Approximately 4,706 vehicles travel this section of KY 94 in an average day. With signs posted, the new speed limits are active and subject to enforcement.

Gone are the days of accelerating to 45 mph after Doran Road. (JESSICA PAINE/The Murray Sentinel)
