Traffic Signal to Be Removed at Glasgow Intersection

Bowling Green, KY, October 6, 2026 —

GLASGOW, KY – A traffic signal at the intersection of U.S. 31-EX, also known as Race Street, and Front Street in Glasgow, Kentucky, is slated for removal. The change is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, October 7th. Following the removal, the intersection will continue to operate as an all-way stop, maintaining its current traffic control structure.

The decision to remove the signal was made after a review of traffic volume data. According to the information provided, an evaluation indicated that traffic counts at the intersection no longer meet the federal guidelines necessary to warrant the presence of a traffic signal. This assessment is a standard procedure for determining the appropriate traffic control measures for intersections, ensuring efficiency and safety based on current usage patterns.

The U.S. 31-EX designation refers to the specific route of the highway, while Race Street and Front Street denote the local road names intersecting at this point. The removal is part of a process to re-evaluate and potentially adjust traffic management systems when usage patterns change. The contractor responsible for the removal was not specified in the available details, nor was the specific federal agency that set the guidelines or conducted the evaluation.

While the signal will be removed, the intersection is not expected to experience significant disruption in its traffic flow as it will revert to its existing all-way stop configuration. This means all vehicles approaching the intersection from any direction will be required to come to a complete stop before proceeding. The specific timing of the removal on October 7th was not detailed, and no further information regarding future plans for the intersection was provided.
