Hardin County Engineer Mark Absher presented to the Hardin County Fiscal Court Tuesday on the county’s efforts to improve safety on Springfield Road.
Absher said the county looked at crash data from the Kentucky State Police and drove the length of the road several times to identify areas that needed improvement. The Hardin County Road Department also conducted speed studies in two locations which showed average speeds well over the posted 35 miles-per-hour speed limit.
“We consider about 15 percent of the people are going to do whatever they want to do,” Absher said. “It doesn’t matter what you do, it doesn’t matter what you sign, they’re just going to do it, and so we try to look at whatever all the speeds were below that point, so the highest of that group is 53, and it’s 30 miles an hour posted. A couple of speeds were over 60 miles an hour.”
Absher said the county is looking at improved signage for the road, and the county will bring in the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet for additional support.
“What they will do is provide us with more information on safety improvements they recommend for that same corridor for Springfield Road,” Absher said. “It also provides us with funding for that improvement because if they do the review and they make recommendations then they can grant us money to cover the cost.”
Springfield Road is just one of the roads the county is focused on.
“We’re not going to just stop at Springfield,” Absher said. “We’re going to continue to look at the different roadways and look at any kind of crash information, stuff like that that we’ve got, and so we’re taking a pretty proactive action on this to kind of move forward.”
