Drivers will soon encounter a new type of traffic signal at three intersections along U.S. 127 in Russell Springs.
The new lights include a flashing yellow arrow, which indicates that drivers can proceed with caution but must yield to oncoming traffic.
This new type of traffic signal designed to improve safety at intersections is being installed at the intersections of KY 80, Northridge Shopping Center and KY 619 along U.S. 127.
The flashing yellow arrow replaces the traditional green circular light for motorists making a permitted left turn and more clearly indicates to motorists that they must yield to oncoming traffic.
This is part of the transportation cabinet’s ongoing work along Highway 127 in Russell Springs.
Road crews have been doing paving work over the last several days, mainly at night.
The project aims to be completed next month.
