Traffic Advisory: Signal Change to Flash on US 23 @ 52nd Street in Boyd County

FLEMINGSBURG, Ky. (Oct. 29, 2026) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists that the traffic signal at the intersection of US 23 and 52nd Street in Boyd County is scheduled to be placed in “Flash Mode” beginning Friday, Oct. 30, at 9 a.m., as part of a traffic signal removal study.

During the study:

• US 23 approaches will display flashing yellow indications. Motorists should proceed through the intersection with caution.
• The 52nd Street approach will display a flashing red indication. Motorists must come to a complete stop and proceed only when safe.
• STOP AHEAD and STOP signs will be installed on the 52nd Street approach.

The study will continue for a minimum of 90 days, during which KYTC will monitor intersection operations. If safety or operational concerns develop, the signal may be returned to normal operation.

Following the study, KYTC will evaluate the results to determine whether to seek approval for permanent removal of the traffic signal.

Motorists are encouraged to use caution and remain alert to the changed traffic control at the intersection.
