- Can you explain the Nicholasville Road lane changes?
Answer: Due to the heavy rush hour traffic, the lanes on Nicholasville Road change in the mornings from 6:30 to 9:00 a.m. (three lanes in), and again in the evenings from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. (three lanes out). Above each lane there are signals that are directing the traffic.
- The GREEN ARROW indicates to proceed forward (correct lane)
- The RED X indicates opposing traffic (wrong lane)
- The WHITE TURNING ARROW indicates the turning lane
If you plan your trip so that you turn from Nicholasville Road right into Doctors Park, and again turn right on Nicholasville Road when leaving our office, you will not need to cross traffic. Here is a diagram that may help make the lane changes clear:
