Glasgow four-way stop study still ongoing, state says
The Transportation Cabinet has not announced when the study is expected to be completed or when its findings will be released.
GLASGOW, Ky. — A state traffic study at the intersection of North Race and West Front streets in Glasgow remains underway, extending beyond the original 90-day evaluation period.
Wes Watt, spokesperson for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, confirmed this week that the study has not yet been completed and is still ongoing.
The intersection has operated as a four-way stop since April 30, when the traffic signal was changed to a flashing red in all directions. The study was originally expected to last about 90 days, a timeline that would have ended July 29.
The study is intended to help determine whether the traffic signal should be permanently removed or if another form of traffic control is warranted at the intersection.
Records previously obtained by Barrenside showed Kentucky Transportation Cabinet engineers were already considering converting the intersection to an all-way stop before the study began, citing traffic volumes that no longer met federal guidelines for a signal.

According to traffic counts collected by the state, approximately 7,300 vehicles travel through the intersection each day, with peak hourly traffic volumes reaching around 800 vehicles.
The Transportation Cabinet has not announced when the study is expected to be completed or when its findings will be released.
