Driving Tips for Kentucky
Kentucky’s scenic byways and rolling hills make it perfect for a road trip. Keep some driving tips in mind:
- Speed Limits: Urban areas generally have speed limits of 35 mph, while rural highways allow up to 65 mph. On interstates, the limit can go up to 70 mph. Always check for posted speed limit signs, especially in mountainous areas where limits may change.
- Parking: Parking in cities like Louisville and Lexington is easy with public garages and metered street parking. In smaller towns and rural areas, parking is usually free and plentiful.
- Mountain Driving: Eastern Kentucky’s mountainous regions feature winding roads and sharp turns. Reduce speed when navigating curves and watch for wildlife crossing the road, especially at dawn and dusk.
- Rush Hours: Traffic congestion is common during the morning and evening in city centers. Plan your trips outside these times for a smoother experience.
