Boyd County Sheriff Jamie Reihs made a social media post Tuesday announcing new signage has been installed — visible in both directions — near SUDS Car Wash.
'Please pay attention to these important signs and stay safe while driving in the area,' Reihs said.
The sheriff thanked the state highway department for its quick response to his requests.
'Your help in keeping our community safe is greatly appreciated,' Reihs posted.
Over the weekend, Reihs addressed concerns about the heavy traffic near the car wash on social media. Boyd County Sheriff's deputies had been monitoring the situation and directing traffic to ensure safety, he said.
Reihs reminded the public a Kentucky Revised Statute law prohibits stopping or parking in roadways.
'Our deputies can and will issue citations for this,' he posted.
The sheriff suggested considering a return to SUDS at a later time if necessary.

Investing in the right way in a new driveway
When it comes to home improvements that boost kerb appeal, add value, and offer long-term practicality, a new driveway is one of the smartest investments you can make. But not all driveways are created equal — and not all investments are wise. To ensure your new driveway delivers on both aesthetics and function, it's important to approach the project with clear priorities, the right budget, and a focus on quality and suitability over short-term savings. It can be tempting to go for the cheapest quote, but a low-cost driveway may end up costing you more in the long run through repairs, poor drainage, or early deterioration. Investing in quality materials like block paving, resin-bound surfaces, or natural stone might carry a higher upfront cost, but they often offer greater durability and visual appeal, requiring far less maintenance over time. Well-constructed driveways not only lasts longer but can also improve the resale value of your home, especially in competitive property markets where first impressions count. A good investment in a driveway isn't just about materials — it's about choosing a style that complements your home. Whether you live in a period property in a historic area or a modern suburban house, your driveway should feel like a natural extension of the home's design. Professional contractors can offer design guidance to ensure that the layout, colour, edging, and surface texture all enhance the character of your property while also meeting practical needs like off-road parking or wheelchair accessibility. A true investment means planning for compliance. UK regulations — including SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems) — now require certain driveways to be permeable or to include proper drainage if water runs off onto public roads. Ignoring this could result in fines or having to re-do the work. A reputable contractor will ensure the project meets local planning and drainage regulations, preventing future headaches. A strong investment in a driveway should also include professional installation, strong foundations, and attention to finishing touches such as edging, lighting, or even decorative patterns. These small additions can make a big impact on overall appearance and usability. A driveway is more than just a surface to park your car — it's the welcome mat to your home. Investing in the right design, materials, and installation isn't just smart financially — it's a decision that improves your property's appearance, function, and long-term value. Take the time to choose well, and the return on your investment will speak for itself. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
