High-Traffic Collision Risks in Central Kentucky
The intersection of N Limestone and W New Circle Rd is one of Lexington’s busier junctions, handling a high volume of cross-town and commuter traffic daily. Accidents here are not uncommon due to lane shifts, speed variability, and the interaction of local and through traffic. Crashes at such intersections often occur during mid to late afternoon when traffic congestion peaks.
Data from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet shows that Lexington experiences a significant share of Fayette County’s urban traffic injuries, with many stemming from misjudged left turns, signal violations, or distractions at high-volume crossroads. The complexity of the N Limestone and W New Circle intersection further amplifies these risks.
Drivers navigating this area are urged to maintain full attention, yield properly at turn lanes, and reduce speed during high-flow periods. Observing all traffic controls and staying aware of surrounding vehicles can help prevent future injury collisions in this corridor.
