The study is examining numerous traffic safety and congestion issues within the Mayfield area.
According to KYTC District 1 Chief Engineer Kyle Poat, the study is an effort to identify long-term projects for future planning and short-term traffic safety enhancements that can be put in place quickly and effectively.
Their analysts are investigating traffic patterns and studying recent crash data to understand issues that are in and around Mayfield. Public input will help them focus the study on specific needs. Both residents of Mayfield and those who regularly drive through Mayfield are asked to participate.
The study will seek to answer several transportation questions, including:
• Are there bottlenecks or congested intersections with long waits?
• Are there turns where drivers have limited vision?
• Are there curves or narrow lanes or shoulders?
• Are there intersections that could benefit from a turn lane?

Online comments on the study are being accepted through Friday, August 14.
A report will be published in 2021 to identify improvement priorities and planning-level cost estimates.
