Some roads are more dangerous than others.

Lexington Police Chief Terrence Green said officers will be working extra hard this month to keep certain intersections safer.

LPD will run a month-long ongoing traffic enforcement campaign that is focused on intersections where collisions are most prevalent.

Data shows these intersections are the most dangerous:

• Augusta Road/US-1 at Cedarcrest Drive

• North Lake Drive/SC-6 at Old Cherokee Road

• Sunset Boulevard/US-378 at Corley Mill Road

• Sunset Boulevard/US-378 at Hope Ferry Road

• Sunset Boulevard/US-378 at Old Cherokee Road

• West Main Street/US-1 at Park Road

• West Main Street/US-1 at Church Street

Over the next several weeks, officers will be spending over 100 hours on enforcement activities in these areas looking for the contributing factors that cause these collisions.

Violations that officers will be looking for include disregarding red lights, distracted driving, speeding, failing to yield the right of way when making a turn, and others.

“Wrecks that happen within an intersection almost always start with a driver taking a risk or being distracted behind the wheel”, said Chief Green.

“With over 100,000 vehicles that pass through the Town of Lexington each day, we need drivers whose focus is on the road and who never take chances when yellow lights are changing to red.”
