Signs installed near car wash
WESTWOOD A popular car wash has caused traffic flow issues on Hoods Creek Pike where it meets U.S. 23 in Westwood recently.
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.
