COVINGTON, Ky. – Drivers on Highland Avenue need to pay attention: There’s a new stop sign at the foot of Emery Drive.
The signs (for drivers headed both east and west on Highland) were installed earlier this week by Public Works after numerous traffic complaints.
The signs are permanent. The sign on eastbound Highland will be mounted to a permanent post soon.
